As far as I am aware, each computer would have to have an analogue modem
installed, and then each machine would go into conflict with the others
regarding receiving a fax..

Look into buying a cheap fax machine..

Mike, just to let you know that you can turn off the fax receive capability
of any of the Microsoft Fax programs so there would be no conflict if each
machine is set to transmit fax but only one set to receive.
