I spent a little time on this, but not much.  Anyway this is info I collected.
When FAX machines came out they did not use a standard modem, no real standard
for 9600 baud had been established.  The software that Apple developed for the
Mac follows a proposed standard for modems and protocol I was told.  Anyway
your difficulty will probably be in trying to talk to the units that do not
follow the standard.  I also heard that a product for the IBM exists as well.

Take all information above with a grain of salt.  I collected it from
knowledgeable friends.  I believe it is correct, but don't know that it is.
