Nedi,

You see iaxmodem.conf, not modem.conf (or at least you should).  
Iaxmodem is included along with efax on the 0.4.5 release.  It is not 
very well tested and it is not recommended for use with voip lines.  
What is recommended is using inbound analog lines with an FXO adapter 
(such as a Digium TDM400 card) using iaxmodem as the virtual modem, with 
Hylafax running on a separate box.  Saying all that, I have been able to 
send and receive faxes with VoIP lines.  Do not expect it to work if 
your line is heavily loaded or you are experiencing alot of jitter or 
latency.

You can find examples of how to use iaxmodem at the iaxmodem website 
(iaxmodem.sourceforge.net)

I take part of this back.  There is a modem.conf in /stat/etc/asterisk.  
It is intended for use with ISDN lines.

Perhaps Ingmar can share more about this.

[IS <is...@es...>]

modem.conf is used by isdn4linux. mISDN is a kind of successor of isdn4linux.

Read http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+ISDN4Linux

I can only suggest that you go for iaxmodem+hylafax. That is the best
solution. Of course it also works with ISDN and mISDN...
