I agree. I'd love to see some fax software on Wine sooner rather than later.

The proper thing to do is to find a Linux Fax Printer driver for your 
fax device and use that.  I know the capabilities of Right Fax and would 
be very grateful if its developers created a Linux version, but suspect 
that will be a long, long time in coming.  Maybe you could contact 
OpenText and see what they can do.
