Check what is the modem model. Check how modem works under host OS (Ubuntu). Use sudo pppconfig, sudo pon connection, plog, to try out and make modem connection within Ubuntu, prior trying to make it work in Guest OS. (And also efax-gtk for faxes from Ubuntu, consult help.ubuntu.com)
Try to go through add new hardware wizard in windows guest OS and see if port appears in device manager, after Guest OS restart. Try adding manually port in Guest OS with drivers.
