What I use on my fax number (the number is in my signature even) is a
server running linux with the mgetty-sendfax software on a now
somewhat aged PC.

That software simply works for normal dialup access and for receiving
faxes. On receiving a fax it sends the fax as an e-mail with attached
images in something most modern software will understand.

If anything unix-like is not your thing, there is probably software for
windows that does the same.
