[BC] Fax software

Getting tired of the HP racket.  Had to replace our old carbon-based fax &  
all I could find localy is various HP machines which are ink jet  
printers.  The one I got has cartridge life measured in weeks.

I have the phone lines to rig this machine for send only & use fax  
software for receive on a different line. (No, I am not foolish enough to  
try and get an office of 40 year olds to use computers to send faxes), but  
what software?

Everything I see recommends against Symantec's Winfax--especially since it  
doesn't seem to work on Windows XP reliably.

All I need is a simple program that will receive incoming faxes  
automatically & stick them somewhere so that they can be reviewed, printed  
or trashed. Ideally over a network as we have a machine sitting in a back  
room doing nothing more than serve as an internet server for the DSL  
line.  It also has a regular phone modem that could be hooked to the fax  
line.  We have customers (pro sports team, for example) that love to send  
endless meaningless stats and the occasional broadcast order, so we can't  
exclude anyone with spam catching. These are probably the folks that are  
guilty of running the ink cartridges dry on our present machine.
