No, it's built-in on the MPBE and no, there's no fax option with it. I'm sure it's a characteristic of the chip set they used that got knocked into action somehow. It probably received a mode switch command as a result of line garbage, but I really don't feel like digging that far into it. With that said, I'm going to just go with an external modem with that copper line going straight into it. We'll be able to get 38.4K that way, which will help with the time spent on backups every few days. If that ever fails, hopefully the on-board modem will function at that time for one call.
