I have a modem set up I use at work where I dial in so I can fix things

speeds. If I have them shut off the modem and turn it back on the
transfer speed is back to normal. We changed to a new fax machine which
shares the line during the same time period.
My thoughts are if the new fax were causing the problem, shutting off
the modem and turning it back on should not change the situation. Yet
the timing leaves me wondering.
So do you think the external modem I am calling into is dying or should
I be looking into other possibilities?

This fax has it's own phoneline connection, right?
