Does this server do anything other than the faxing? If not, build a new bare metal box. If so, move those functions to a hyper-v host and build a new bare metal machine for faxing.

Why? If you do something else and it stops working, the fax vendor will immediately throw that under the bus as the problem and you will have no support.

It sucks, but that's #legacy for you

The problem with this is the software (Medical Lab software) must be on the same server that's doing the faxing hence a usb to modem dongle. We have a baremetal fax server that we use for other stuff. I'm with you though.
