If you're referring to flexfax, FreeBSD is supported in the standard
distribution ( as well as 386bsd, 4.4bsd, BSDI, and linux).
It's available from ftp.sgi.com.

I am not certain about the state of these ports, they may be unfinished.
If you have solved problems on any of the supported platforms or ported
flexfax to new systems, please submit your work to the author
