If you are interested in a paperless fax solution, you may consider Snappy Fax, a desktop and network fax software. The software allows you to send and receive faxes for your office. You can either set up Snappy Fax on a desktop, or share a server that will handle faxing for several users.
You can set the software to print faxes as they come in, or to deposit the file in a directory.
There are a few USB fax modems that work well with Snappy Fax. I am looking for Internal modems in addition to a hardware solution. An email to Snappy Fax support returned this information:
I did find that they recommend a MultiTech Systems modem that is being phased out, which allows for multiple fax lines on one computer. MultiTech also has other fax solutions if you have a bit of money to spend on a dedicated fax server.
We quit using internal modems here since they are such a pain to install but...
Most any internal modem should be fine except:
1. US Robotics (fax implementation is flawed)
2. Smartlink (does not support the E0 modem command)
3. Motorola (modem driver is flawed)
4. Diamond Supra/Modemblaster (poor reliability)
