If you do a Google search on "fax server software", you will get a
fair number of relevant leads. Converting the received fax into an
email attachment and/or message is the first step that most network
fax servers perform when a fax comes in. Once it is in that format it
can be sent anywhere (not just to the local network), so a fax server
should solve your problem even if you don't have a local network!
