As another suggested the Sangoma cards should work. However we need someone to write a frontend to Steve Underwood's wonderful spanDSP library. This will allow us a T38 gateway of sorts meaning you can connect a Linksys ATA using T.38 and we can say that (assuming your fax machine strictly complies with the relevant standards) faxing will work with 100% reliability, thats a bit more assuring that it "should work," no?
