actually it is capable of it and old versions of the PPC could and DID function as fax machines able to send and receive faxes. Currently there are a few programs that will allow you to "send" faxes from the ppc but apparently there's now a hardware block that somehow prevents reception of faxes.
As the PPC is now more powerful then it's ever been in the past I think it likely that the machine is still "able" to do it minus the block.
Another possible reason why ppc's used to be able to do this and no longer can is that all the old ones "might" have had conventional modems built into them. But I find that unlikely. I think the modem was always software based.
