net vampire (part of samba 3) will do that (transfer the accounts)
hylafax for faxing; very configurable, and has a windows client available
where they can send faxes through the server (of course there is also a linux
client). Also there are www and email to fax gateways for it.
you will probably go with samba3 / pdc for authentication, but as far as the
OSX and linux clients go, probably it will be difficult to set up the auto
mounting of their home directories and so forth, but it can be done (with the
automount maps in ldap and using an ldap backend with samba perhaps) But if
OSX supports PAM (as does debian) you can set it up to where windows domain
users can log in to OSX without a local account.
or you could use the Unix toolkit for windows (free I believe) and use NIS as
an auth method and nfs to share files
