I suspect that a lot of us are using Asterisk.  It's not something small 
enough, however, that "a few tips" will help.  You'd do best to set it 
up, take the plunge and climb the steep learning curve as best you can 
and ask more specific questions along the way.

The one "tip" that I will give you, though, is to not waste any time 
trying to send faxes over VoIP channels running over the internet.

Furthermore, I do believe that Asterisk's "official" position on faxes 
is "unsupported"... although many of us unofficially support it ourselves.
