I haven't got any Sipura's to test, but I tried and failed with 
Grandstream 286's. My general experience (and advice I have been given) 
is that transferring modem data across a network is a bad thing - any 
jumps in the call, and any lag at all will cause the whole thing to 
fail. It's generally OK for fax, but remember that fax works at a 
significantly lower speed to modem transfer.

I have managed to get a single FXO to FXS working for a dialup modem, 
although I was only getting 24000bps. I am told (although I haven't had 
the opportunity to try yet) that when I connect to a digital ISDN line 
for the incoming calls, I will get better throughput (closer to 56k). 
That said, this is probably your best option.
