Last time I set up a fax server (send and receive), I did it with mgetty+fax (and mgetty+voice so handle the distinctive ring function). I was using LPRng at the time so that the fax appeared as a standard printer. This way, any editor or whathaveyou can send a fax. IIRC, the standard fax cover page I wrote with Lout (which was my document processing system at the time) to produce the postscript file.
