Can A computer Be Hacked Through a Modem?

I have a Domain that has a server that accepts faxes using a 6 port modem. After considering it for sometime I am still unsure if this is a security hazard.

Is it possible for someone to dial into my windows firewalled machine pretending to be a fax and compromise my machine and network?

I have set up pretty solid security standards here and would hate to have such a easily preventable breach occur.

The way I see it is they would have to initiate a connection over the phone line, pretend to be a fax and then that line would be connected to my machine, which has no protection from the outside environment. I mean it is firewalled but I don't know if that applies to the fax port.

I dont know....give me some input PLEASE!

Don't connect your fax unless someone you trust first sends you an email telling you a fax is on the way.
