There are many scenarios where a modem with an assigned originating 
number could call that very number and be expected to connect to a fax 
receiver (not itself, of course).  I can think of FoIP scenarios, 
digital line scenarios, and even some analog hunt-group scenarios where 
that fits.

The easy example is a group of modems that are all connected to lines 
that are in a "hunt group".  One modem will likely be labeled with the 
number corresponding to the "main" or "primary" number in that trunk 
group.  And that modem could call out to the "main" number and the telco 
would reroute its call to another line in that hunt group.
