You can get something similar to MSFax, but not integrated into MSFax.

mgetty: samba-source/docs/textdocs/Faxing.txt
HylaFAX: http://inconnu.isu.edu/~ink/new/links/projects/links/smbfax/

you may need to tweak the scripts, and use ps2ascii to extract text from
postscript; this is because many win apps create ps docs with characters
scattered all over the place, so that you won't find the string FAX-NR in the ps
file.

For another approach (no samba, free win clients on win and unix fax server)
see:
