If you install the HylaFax server software on the Linux side
faxing should be smooth. There's a nice Windows client for 
Hylafax (as long as there's something like a nice Windows client ;-)
I don't have the URL at hand but if you can't find any reference
i could mail you the software. We use the HylaFax server on one
of our products (Internet gateway and proxy server) and hardly
ever had problems (the only problem i recall was a strange
routing problem of NT based routers).

Not hard ar all. The tricky part is running a mixed envirnoment
where you can't get rid of the NT servers and have to deal with
Windows domains and password syncronization--a real mess on both
sides.
