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.
