This can easily be done with FreeBSD.  Take a look at the
/usr/ports/comms/hylafax port.  HylaFax is a network-ready fax server (can
handle both incoming and outgoing), that is very robust and fast.  Clients
for both Windows and Mac exist so that you can simply "print" to a FAX
driver "printer" in order to send a fax (just like Winfax(TM)).
