My previous message was:

MacOS X Fax embeded function is simple and sufficient, as far as I am concerned, but... I would like to get an alert message when a fax comes in.

Could AS perform that (Folder actions ?) ?

I have found nothing related to this topic in the archives.

No answer to it. I might have been not clear enough. Apologies.
May I say things in a simpler way.

Is it possible to get an AS alert message when a folder content gets modifed ?

If you know what folder the fax comes into then you can set a folder action on that folder which does this:
----
tell application "System Events"
activate
display dialog "You have a fax." buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon note
end tell
----

I'm having System Events do the dialog box because there's a chance that the frontmost application might not be able to bring up a dialog for some reason. If someone has a better idea please chime in!

:-)

You can learn more about Folder Actions here:
