  1. This should point you in the right direction:

  2. From my experience with FritzBox and Asterisk servers it's most probably better, to let the FritzBox connect directly to the VOIP provider to send out faxes. I tried it to connect the FritzBox to the Asterisk server and then send out faxes, but the connection was quite unstable. I had more and better luck with letting the Fritzbox connect directly to the voip provider.

  3. Sounds like you need one of these: http://www.voipsupply.com/voip-adapters/single-fxs

    I'm not familiar with fritz!box, but one of those adapters will probably take care of getting your fax machine going with your asterisk box.
