Answer 1

I'd look into VOIP software and/or hardware. Since you can make calls to landlines with subscription, it could also be used to call fax numbers. You would need an adapter to convert it to RJ-45, ethernet port, or a router with RJ-11, phone jacks, built-in.

Edit: First you would need to register for a VOIP account, not Skype, but an SIP account. You can google it ans find the company you like. Ultimately yo need a subscription with someone to get your number, and as soon as you register they'll usually give you it.

Answer 2

If you have VOIP, you would already have a "landline" style number.

But then, you'd still need a fax machine / fax modem to send/receive faxes. They'll just connect to your VOIP gateway.
