Actually, for what you are talking about, Unity is not required (or even supported). For onramp (INBOUND) fax to email, you need a Cisco router voice gateway with minimum a IP Voice IOS functionality (recent build). Also, the router MUST be in H.323 mode in your callmanager environment - you cannot do onramp fax with a router in MGCP mode. You need the dial-peer processing on the router to route fax calls to the relevent fax processing.
You will also need the relevant Cisco script files for faxing. The router has a basic SMTP send engine in the IOS and the faxing scripts convert the inbound PRI/ISDN call into a TIFF image and send an SMTP msg.
