Would the following be a doable solution:

1. An Asterisk-box on site with FXS
2. Plug Fax into FXS
3. User uses facsimile machine to call a number - Asterisk answers
4. Stores called number into variable ${FAXDESTINATION}
5. Use RcfFax of * to store fax within asterisk
6. mail stored fax together with ${FAXDESTINATION} off to central office 
with outgoing PSTN?

No PSTN line needed, user does not need to change his/her way of doing 
things.

If you want to provide feedback with regards of fax success, prefix the 
phonenumber with a 3 letter account number specifying the sender to be 
used for later eMail notification.

Just a thought.
