I would strongly urge you to consider a real fax machine, or a
fax-all-in-one printer.  They're both fairly mature technologies that
usually adhere to fax-telephone industry standards, including support
for receiving.

This might just be from the poor taste my fax-modem left in my craw,
but there's no substitute for the real thing.  My two HP a-i-o-fax
printers were both under $50, and I'm pretty sure the first one broke
because of something stupid I did (the scanner feeder quit working on
me and it's just as cheap or cheaper to get a new one as to fix the
old...).
