Most computers are capable of receiving faxes.
Go to "Start->Programs->Accessories->Communications->Fax->Fax Console
It will open a wizard to configure it for you machine. You can set it for auto answer or manual answer.
This is present on the last few versions of windows. If you don't see it there, you can install it from your windows installation CD under other windows components.
I use my computer all the time to directly send and receive faxes. If I wish to receive one, I can tell it to answer the phone manually (or I can set it for automatic). I just have make sure I don't leave auto on otherwise my voice calls will get answered by the fax modem.
