RE I've got no idea what your faxing needs are, but did you ever check out either of the two on-line fax services that were mentioned in one of the docs to which I linked you back...well, back there?
I fax very infrequently, generally only to recipients who won't accept "non-secure" communication due to privacy concerns. But when I do, I want/need a complete record of the transaction. The two online services are fee-for-service.
I use eFax (very, very infrequently) to receive faxes (via email in PDF format) – very convenient (and no fax spam).
