detecting wardialing

Is anyone aware of a PBX or software that can detect wardialing attempts?
I'm thinking of something that detects fax or modem tones in a series of
calls within a certain window of time. I understand the phone company does
some detection of this kind of activity, but I'm wondering if there is any
way to stop unwanted phone sweeps.
