Here is the response from the freepbx forum:

"One answer and quite easy if you use a Debian based system as you do, 
is to install a t32modem or two along with spandsp and run it through 
asterisk/hylafax. No hardware/license needed, add Avantfax and you have 
a fully functional fax gateway with a GUI that can send and receive 
faxes complete with email forwarding. True you will have to get your 
hands dirty (and your brain) but it has worked very well for years now."

But now it retrospect, I think he is talking fxo functionality, not 
fxs.  Worth a try.  Once I get to it.  But I do remember, back in '07 
running with a couple clone wildcards and spandsp.  Finally got a real 
digium fxs/fxo pci card.
