Reject voice calls on fax-only line via Google Voice

Is there a way for the obihai to reject voice calls on a fax-only line via Google Voice. I tried "UseForFaxOnly" but voice calls still ring the fax machine connected to the obihai.

Thanks!

AFAIK an OBi has no means to distinguish between voice and fax.

What if Obihai's auto-attendant picked up the call and passed through calls with a fax tone and disconnected on all others?

I don't understand your setup.
What model OBi do you have?
Do you have a dedicated number for your fax?
Why are you getting voice calls on your fax?

It is a dedicated fax number however I get a portion of faxes from an insurance company which, unfortunately, only sends via an anonymous number.

However, I also get unsolicited anonymous calls which I can't block in Google Voice because it would block the needed anonymous faxes along with it.

I've white-listed the fax numbers in Google Voice for all other incoming calls.

why don't you get a free DID from CallCentric, and dedicate it to fax?

(edit, imho, Use the least complicated solution if possible)
