I have a dell 2000 server machine with all PCI slots but a fax cards that fits into a ISA slot.
Is there a piece of equipment that will act as a bridge and allow me to 'put' this ISA cad into a PCI slot ?

I know that Dell can put in a PCI --> ISA Riser Board; or they could about a year ago.

You have to look at the specifications of your ISA card and if the system works at a faster bus speed, then you will probably have problems.

You could call Dell and find out if they sell the risers separately and if it will work with your system.

Personally I would recommedn you upgrade your fax card and avoid the likely trouble that may occur.

Even if you could find an adapter, it would likely COST you much more than simply upgrading to a newer card. The much simplier solution as already stated, just to replace the card.
