j2 does it by owning the patent and they do go after people that
advertise fax2email services.  be warned - while the patent can likely
be fought the license fee is way cheaper than the lawyer fee.

yes however if you try to do faxing on an uncontrolled network, such as
the internet you will likely have problems.  Faxes dont like jitter or
dropped packets very much, and those things are likely, especially over
time, on  the internet.  Now a private controlled well managed network
might be a different story.
