There's a lot of them.  And, a lot of new fax machines also support 
this.  Panasonic, HP, Canon, Ricoh, etc.

A lot of the fax machines will call it "internet fax" - meaning 
scan-to-email (rather than T.38).

Just look, you'll find them.

That said, it's a relatively easy endeavor to create a "network 
scanning device" by hooking up a Sane-driven scanner with an 
Apache+PHP-enabled server.  With a little bit more work you can get it 
pumping those scans to sendfax.  The user does it all from their own 
browser or from Mozilla running on X on that system itself.  I did this 
for a client once, and there were scan-to-file, scan-to-email, and 
scan-to-fax functions.  I think it took maybe a few hours to write.  
Most of the work was after that, trying to learn and implement the 
various Sane features with that scanner.  In the end it was a very 
feature-filled document center for the hardware price of a PC and a 
scanner.
