Does anyone know of good FAX modem software for the IBM PC?  I'm trying
to set up a sort of Faxmail service on my bulletin board, so the primary
requirement is that it can run in unattended batch mode.  The long list
of requirments is:

        o  Does *NOT* require Windows to run.
        o  Can be called from another program to receive faxes.
           My BBS software can route incoming fax connections to
           an external program.
        o  Can be called from another program to transmit faxes.
           I also envision users being able to call the software as
           a "door" type program to send ASCII or graphics files.
           As long as the fax software supports batch mode operation
           I can write a front-end to handle the user interface.
        o  Can place incoming faxes in directories according to the
           originator's ID string, or can pass the ID string back to
           the calling program as a return code or via a log file.

Naturally, PD or Shareware software is preferred but I'm also willing
to look at commercial programs.  I'll summarize all email responses.
