You must have a modem of some sort for faxes.

Steve Underwood has been working on a softfax app for asterisk. Some of
us have had luck with it, while others haven't. I think the general idea
so far is that receiving faxes is hit or miss at the moment while
sending faxes is usually a hit. 

You can find the fax stuff at opencall.org
