You can install efax software by running in terminal.

sudo apt-get install efax

If you need GUI for that, install it by

sudo apt-get install efax-gtk

How do you select 14.04 or 15.04 there? – Pilot6 Aug 17 '15 at 17:26
Oh! I see now, that only versions 10.04 up to 13.10 are listed there, so installing in the terminal is probably the best way to go – impalle Aug 18 '15 at 11:08
Ubuntu Software Center can be used too. – Pilot6 Aug 18 '15 at 11:10
Link broken, redirects to https://snapcraft.io/store which makes no mention of 'fax' anywhere. – Gord Thompson May 19 '19 at 00:46
