Usually you can plan on between 30 to 45 seconds per page.  If you have 
V.34-Fax/SuperG3 and/or JBIG support then the average page-send time 
will be less than that.

But, going off of a 45 second figure per page for 5000 one-page faxes 
that need to all be sent within an 8-hour window:

 time slots per window = 8h * 60m/h * 60s/m / 45s
 time slots per window = 640
 modems+lines needed for load = 5000 faxes / 640 faxes per modem
 modems+lines needed for load = 8 modems

Recalculate by adjusting your time window and your expected average 
time-per-fax.
