I haven't done what Gerhard describes but I do use my phone to get 
faxes.  My voice and fax share the same number as I don't receive many 
faxes however I do send a few.  A dedicated line is not a big issue for 
me.  Some faxes (mine included) have a ring tone detector (Bell 
Identacall?) which would allow you to use the same line and if no one 
is on it you ignore the ring and have the fax machine pick it up.  
That's an extra cost service but may be an option for off hours or 
normal hours when no on the phone and if your volume of faxes is low.  
Certainly cheaper than a dedicated line.
