[ale] Hylafax and Vonage

OK, I have been thinking about this today and I am just confused.
Vonage is by definition a VOIP phone service with zero depeandancy
on a physical POTS line. Faxing & Hylafax are by definition services
that deal with faxes occuring across a actual hardwired POTS line
and a regular dial-up modem. Now once the system running Hylafax
picks up the modem line and accepts the fax there may be some IP
traffic but other than that I am just puzzled how a VOIP service could
be affecting or even interacting with a fax modem that should unless
I am misunderstanding things be connected to a POTS line.

Upon switching to Vonage, we have lost the ability to connect with
many of our clients.  30-40% of incoming faxes don't complete and
about the same number of outgoing ones do not complete.
Are there any special settings in hylafax to get it to work correctly over VOIP?
