I don't have any practical experience, but I can tell you that
HylaFax (the new name for FlexFax) compiles very nicely under
linux, that it seems *extremely* feature rich (maybe too much--
it supports email<->fax, remote directory polling, network
faxing over tcp, etc., etc).  Check out the HylaFax home page:
