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.
