Please ask yourself which aspect of your installation you expect to
improve by doing this. Fax with passive ISDN cards will be harder to
set up than with analog modems.

Check out this announcement:

You need very recent sofware to use it, but this seems to be the way
forward.
You may want to ask on this mailing list yourself. Despite its name, it
mostly deals with misdn nowadays.

The documentation on www.misdn.org is a bit outdated, but may still be
partially helpful. Look for misdn v2, and ignore misdn v1.
Sorry, I cannot help you with first-hand experience concerning fax support.
