Not really.

On one hand, there are at least fax cards for PCs plugging directly to
the digital line (ISDN) which will happily fax away; the same card can
be used for internet connection (56kbit up and down). Although I have
never tried under Linux, that can be tricky (but it works with the
appropriate card).

On the other hand, if you have an ISDN setup you can still use analog
phones and faxes. You simply need the correct type of socket -
actually, an adaptor. Obviously, you waste some quality, but it is
still better than with an analog copper pair to the exchange.

Of course it's the digital connection at one end that permitted the
higher speeds for V.90 dial up modems. Ever notice how the speed's
higher in one direction? That's because the digital connection bypasses
the filtering etc., that limit the bandwidth, at least in one
direction. BTW, there are some faxes that will connect directly to an
ISDN line and can support up to 128 Kb/s.
