If you tweak the ATA for fax settings it will work fine on a LAN assuming your network is sane. If you have a T38 capable gateway to the PSTN, (Asterisk NOT a T38 capable gateway), it will work even better.
The POS will probably never work. Data modems are way more sensitive than faxes and the TXX (the exact number escapes me at the moment) standard for modems has never been implemented on an ATA that I'm aware of. However, all newer POS terminals have ethernet and work over the Net. If the client has an older terminal I suggest they ask their provider for a newer net-capable model and if they don't have it, switch to someone who does. They work a million times better and faster than the analog dial-up versions so they are worth it regardless of VOIP or not.
