If your Cisco voice gateway can deliver the calls using T.38, that should give you decent reliability. You'll want to us Asterisk 10 which has the best T.38 support at this point (compared to older releases). The receiving side of the equation then becomes whether to use Fax for Asterisk (commercial, 1 free channel, 2+ paid), or the included SpanDSP based fax module.
