Flipping thru the Elek-Tek catalog (800-395-1000)... it's a Canon MultiPASS 
1000 (it scans! faxes! copies! slices! dices! it has a "melody" on hold!).  
No data modem, though.  $800.  HP makes several (no telephone), the OfficeJet 
($479) and OfficeJet 350 ($599, the scanner can be used with your computer).  
Brother makes two, MFC 1950 ($499, with telephone, voice mailboxes) and MFC 
4500 ($999, same but with laser printer).  Lumina makes two 
copier/fax/scanner/modems (the "copier" reduces & enlarges!), no telephone, 
works with your existing printer, $399 (14.4) and $499 (28.8)).  Most of 
these are inkjets, so "copier" is pushing it a bit.
Consider, though, whether when your fax goes into the shop to be fixed, you 
want to lose your telephone, scanner, copy machine, printer, and modem at the 
same time.  You're really putting all your eggs into one basket with these 
things.  I personally believe that separate devices are more reliable, easier 
to maintain, more flexible, let you upgrade easier, and are cheaper in the 
long run.
