Fax Server

@Dashrender What do we do if we can't abandon faxing and we also have HIPAA compliance to worry about?

@Dashrender I assumed that but wasn't 100%

Your least expensive option will be to get a SIP trunk that terminates to either a dedicated fax server and can handle X amount of incoming faxes at the same time. X being the number of incoming faxes you need to be able to support.
One example of this would be a FreePBX system.
You could stand up a FreePBX for the sole purpose of doing this. Get a SIP trunk that supports faxing (JB likes VOIP.ms - but you can ask who else other people like).
Then you setup DIDs on the SIP trunk you purchased.
Inside FreePBX you setup rules for each DID, when a fax comes in on DID1 - save the file network location1, DID2 - location2, etc.This would require you having hardware to run FreePBX on (a VM platform would be great and not use a lot of resources), the SIP trunk and the DIDs.

@scottalanmiller SIP and IAX2
If that is the case, you look at the DID and send the file wherever you determine. No need to look at ports, IPs or anything IP networking related. You look at the payload.

Well some of us would argue that the two are mutually exclusive

VOIP.ms don't use SIP IAX2 to send the fax to you, they send it to your email address. JB's post shows that in his screen shot.
In which case you just look at the contents of the email to determine where to send it.

When will this be out of Beta? I need this service ASAP!

You could start using it now, how critical is your fax service? If it meets the need after testing, why not use it in beta?
