Asterisk 1.6 (in the Fedora repos) can receive and send faxes over audio and
T.38. I'm not sure what hardware you have which may affect this completely.
Once Asterisk receives a fax, it just dumps it as a TIFF into a directory from
where you can do whatever you want with it.
I'll give you the link to what I do, which is called Asterisk FAX Gateway
which is for sending and receiving faxes via e-mail.

If all you do is receive, it would be really easy to do a "System" call from
within Asterisk to simply mail the TIFF to the recipient.
