   NeXT bundles some basic fax software with System 2.0. You will now be
   able to send faxes, but if I understand correctly, not receive.

The software allows you to receive faxes.  As I understand it,
they end up somewhere in /usr/spool, and a human fax
administrator sorts them out and delivers them (probably via
e-mail instead of walking down the hall with a scrap of thermal
paper) to the right person.
