VoIP is *supposed* to support analog FAX, but it's a crapshoot,
especially for outbound calls. It's hard to make it work well so many
providers just don't bother. Usually folks just switch to an eFAX
service of some kind, which receives FAXes for you and forwards them as
PDFs via email.
I've used CallCentric before, and they offer FAX reception. I hear
voip.ms has dedicated FAX numbers.
