another way to achieve the goal is to use serial over IP adapters. I 
have setup a few moxa (http://www.moxa.com/product/NPort_5100A.htm) to 
access good old pots modem from virtual machines. They are not used for 
fax but for point to point communication over telephone lines, and they 
have been working fine for two years.
Cheers,

Denis
