Yes, it's possible to do this in a couple of ways. First, you can get a toll-free number and have the provider direct it to the (local) number of the fax machine. It's possible to have more than one toll-free number directed to the same local number, so theoretically you can have as many numbers for that fax machine as you want (and are willing to pay for). The fax machine will continue to be accessible through the local number as well.
Secondly, if you're behind a PBX, some of them allow you to redirect incoming calls on a particular local number to whatever extension you want. You can set up several dedicated lines which all route to the same fax machine... though it's hard seeing what benefit this would have normally (if you had separate departments which each had their fax machine and one of the machines broke down, you might temporarily do this to avoid losing faxes, or even make it permanent if not enough incoming faxes were received to justify replacing the broken one).

Can you have an answer machine and fax machine on the same line?

Yes you can, however only one of them can be set to automatically answer - otherwise one will answer before the other. Other options are: - There are fax machines that have answering capability - There is the option to have a "dual ring" line - (DRD - dual ring detection) is what's needed in both the answering mahcine and the fax machine for that - this way you would have two phone numbers but one phone line - the answering machine would be set up for line 1, the fax machine line for line 2, and the fax machine ring would be different. This works with voicemail as well.
