Hey, this is UNIX; of course it's possible. That said, the corner-case 
handling would be better if sed's regexes supported negative lookahead 
expressions.

faxstat \
  | sed -r \
     -e '1 { s/^/0:/; }' \
     -e '/^Modem/ { s/(Modem [^0-9]+([0-9]+))/\2:\1/; }' \
  | sort -n \
  | sed -re 's/^[0-9]+://'
