I've found, from my experience, they tend to be on analog PORTS on phone 
systems (e.g., they're given a DID in the PBX, but it just comes out on an 
analog port instead of a digital one).

Thus, if the PBX dies, so do most of the fax machines, at least in larger 
companies...

That's why you always use the phone in the elevator.  North Carolina 
building permits REQUIRE the phone in the elevator to be analog, and
dedicated.
