My Brother MFC-4500 (?) fax/printer can do this. It's about five years 
old. All you have to do is plug the answering machine into a jack on the 
fax. If it detects fax tones, the fax part takes over.

It also recognizes distinctive ring, which might be a better way to deal 
with faxes. Get a distinctive ring number for your faxes and have the 
fax machine pick up when that number rings. If you eventually use the 
fax enough to warrant it, you can move the distinctive ring number to 
its own line without having to send out a number change to all your 
customers/vendors.
