Suggest posting your fax software. Hard for us to guess.
Might as well include your operating system and Outlook version since they
might be in play as well and we can't guess those either.

Microsoft Fax ver 5.1
XP Pro SP2
Outlook 2003
I did notice that if I go into a contact with a fax number, click the fax
number (make no changes) and then click "Save & Close", the fax number then
shows up in the address book. Could any of the windows or office updates
blown away the fax entries in the Address Book?

No such beast. I assume you are referring to the Fax Console of Windows XP
Fax?
No updates I've seen will do this. There is probably more to this story. I
suspect you created or migrated these contacts incorrectly (like by
importing them) so your fax numbers are not resolved. You'll need to edit
each one.
