Generally any modem will be able to send faxes (you can even use a
cellphone), however I would strongly recommend not using a 'WinModem' -
apart from being the devils spawn, they are not well supported by Linux.

You should be able to pick up a 'hardware' modem (external box with a
serial port) at any garage sale/charity shop for next to nothing.

Regarding software, it depends on how complicated you wish to get.

In the simplest form you can use a 'print document' methodology to send
faxes with something like:
