The short answers are:
1 - If you do not have a physical fax machine use iaxmodem/hylafax on
the asterisk machine to send and receive faxes.
2 - If you have a fax machine buy something like the Linksys PAP2 or the
Linksys SPA-2002 and only enable alaw.
Either way you should have a decent enough success rate with your
faxes.
