www.ananzi.co.za has a free fax to e-mail service.
uhm have a fax machine/fax modem.
ADSL = digital portion of line
POTS = phone section/plain old telephone / analogue
Fax = sending data by tones, like a modem on the analogue portion of the line.
Hence there is no way to get faxes thru adsl. Alternatives are:
1) use a filter with your fax machine/fax modem and recieve like normal.
2) use a fax-to-email service, they give you a fax number you must use and then they email the fax in form of a picture etc Telkom as one, i'm sure others do too.

Go to http://www.faxfx.net/f2e.htm and read about Fax to e-mail. It is free for the recipient, but sender pays more than normal.
IF you have a normal old dial-up modem in your computer, look on the CD that came with it for Fax software. I use mine for that and as an answering machine and it works well.
Edit: Don't forget the POTS filter on the line to the modem though
