I don't remember how I got rxfax/txfax to be available in menuselect,
but they won't compile - I couldn't get the app_rxfax.c and app_txfaxt.c
to compile against 1.4 and I didn't have time to figure out how to get
them running. 

AFAIK the current recommendation is to use HylaFax with something called
iaxmodem.
