HylaFAX (can't remember the URL right now) works pretty nicely .. a bit
'strange' to set up, but if you can bring yourself to simply choose defaults
and cross your fingers it should work without too much fiddling.  It's pretty
full featured as software allowing you to send, receive, poll (and be polled)
there is also a Windows client that can interface with it (WinFLEX) so any
machine on your network can send faxes from the same modem.
