Yes, it does. 

Basically all external ones (those that have RS-232 connectors on them,
i.e. stay away from the Apple only RS422 stuff :) and most internal as

You will find it easier if you get one with Hayes compatible control 
language as then all the template scripts need virtually no changes.

Faxing is slightly different matter; consult HylaFax and/or 
mgetty/sendfax documentation--both are in ports (AFAIK)
