Given that hardly anyone's configuration is going to exactly fit your
situation, I'd start with The Fine Manual:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-network-config-modem.html

Other useful links from my bookmarks (which may be well dated):

http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
http://www.davidpashley.com/tutorials/wvdial-pppd-dod.html

As for mgetty+sendfax specifics, the horse's mouth is best:

All that said, be advised that RH 8.0 is well out of date.  If you can
get hold of a later version (Fedora Core 3 is out), you really should
get and use it.
