I haven't tried this yet, but it is my understanding that the SPA does
recognise incoming FAX and you could for example then send it to a FAX
machine connected to the FXS port.

If you have only two lines and use two SPAs, I tend to think that the
effort to write your Asterisk dialplan to do the grouping "manually"
so to speak would still be reasonable. In my view, the more lines you
are going to have, the less sense it makes using SPAs and you should
rather be looking into multiport FXOs with a built-in facility to
group the ports.
