We run HylaFAX on an ancient IBM Netfinity 4000R for ~250 users.  The
box has a Multitech ISI 8-port fax board;  certainly not the board you'd
buy today, but it works very well (hasn't required a reset in over a
year,  last outage was because of a failed UPS).

External modems work as well so long as you get good ones,  but eight
external modems was rather bulky (the Multitech 1932z was what we used
before the fax board).
