Years ago I ran HylaFAX on a P-75 (yes, 75 MHz) laptop for a customer.  
It was a bit slow, but faxing went fine, and I would be very surprised 
if a 20-page document would have taken more than 2-3 minutes to prepare 
before sending.

And, yes, if you have one modem and it's busy with an incoming call the 
outgoing fax will wait in line.
