Have you looked at HylaFax, an open source fax system for *nix
systems that has been around for many years (it started life as
flexfax, but had to change the name since somebody else had it).
We have been using HylaFax on various Linux systems for well over
a decade with excellent results (and we hosted their mailing list
for several years before they registered hylafax.org).

Another commercial package for *nix systems is Faximum.  This too
has been around since the early '90s.

The pinnacle of open systems is: when moving from vendor to vendor, the
design flaws stay the same.
