I used a service called efax a few years ago which enables you to both send and
receive faxes via your PC, it worked OK but I could not justify the monthly cost
for occasional use.

My trusty inkjet printer has a fax function and is connected to the POTS line as
well as the PC, so to send a fax I just dial the number then when I hear the fax
tone I press start/copy on the printer.

To receive faxes I use the fax to email service provided by Mistral which costs
me nothing but charges the sender a few pence.  No doubt I will get flamed by
others on this group and be accused of ripping off the sender - but hey, the
sender can either put a photocopy in an envelope and stick a postage stamp and
snailmail it to me at greater cost, or email to me direct.
