Not sure if you mean IP faxing or TDM faxing, but I don't think you'll
need to do any patching.  In general check out:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+fax

For IP faxes, check out the wiki here:

AFAIK: 1.4.x can't terminate IP faxes - only pass through, while 1.6.x
can pass through and terminate with the help of spandsp.
