Dang you guys made me get out a fax and a modem and test it. I guess it DOES work. My 28.8 modem would connect about 75% of the time to a ISP dialed through my Sipura ATA, Asterisk system and Voicepulse Connect. I also was able to send a fax (but havent yet looked at the output result).
I was using G.711u PCM this time, I think I was using G.729 or ILBC last time which would explain failure to connect as they are highly compressed. The last customer I got setup with Vonage was told Fax wouldn't work and they gave him a separate number that received fax and forwarded to email, perhaps they use a low-bitrate codec, maybe turning on AT&T's "fax and modem" setting will allow G.711. But AT&T also disables your voicemail at that point for some reason. Thanks for proving me wrong! This really opens up some options.
