Absolutely not! you can use real fax machines plain and simple through an ATA , you can add "virtual" iaxmodem or t38modem to virtualize , you can print all incoming faxes to any networked printer routed by DID and send any file (converted by hylafax and it's extensions) you can use scanners as input devices and there even some hylafax clients that work in winbloze all you need is software that reads and write G4 tif files and that basically is hylafax/libreoffice/imagemagick/ghostscript with all the bells and whistles. Furthermore you have email2fax and fax2email abilities available.
