In my case I was faxing over plain G711 through a SIP to analog phone jack converter. Not saying it’s a good idea or reliable, but it worked in my case.

So the parent post could’ve very well thought he had used his modem on a real copper line while in fact it was VoIP, just the compression was light enough that it still worked fine like in my case.

No clue if I had a copper line. I didn't mean to dispute that it was or wasn't VOIP or copper, my point was only that I was using a dialup modem five years ago, in direct contradiction to the statement that they haven't worked for 15 years. This was in Chambersburg, PA through Centurylink.
