Yes (almost; see below to configure fax) ... but remember, you need
to connect your fax modem to an analog phone line (regular,
old-fashioned phone line). If you have DSL service, you can share the
line with phone/fax and DSL by using appropriate filters. If you have
cable internet service, you need to use a "real" phone line for the
fax, not the cable connection.

The bit about not being able to fax with a cable connection isn't
necessarily true; If the user has cable telephone service (in addition
to Internet service) it will probably work. It does for me. It's my
understanding that faxing won't work with some cable phone services,
but it works with my Time Warner connection.

The key word in this comment is "necessarily." Maybe it will work and
maybe it won't. Those with cable connections might be interested in
reading the following: http://www.soft-switch.org/foip.html but the best
advice, if you don't have a regular telephone line, is to ask your VoIP
provider if faxing will work.

I concur that the key word here is "necessarily". Here are some similar
