For faxing under any OS other than Windows, true. All but a few exceptions, 
will only work as a faxmodem with the bundled Windows drivers. Most are 
simple ISDN-S0 to PCI interfaces. Everything else that is needed for using 
them for faxing will have to be performed on the host processor. If you don't 
have the neccessary drivers for the OS, you're out of luck.

You would run into exaclty the same kind of problems.
