Anyone here using MS fax server on their network? We want to shift from a manual fax machine to a system that is mostly paperless. It looks like the standard MS fax system is a bit too basic for our preferences. Outside IT guy is here now setting it up. Seems to be a small problem. Modem we're using is old and tends to overheat, so I'll need to buy a new one online. Local stores don't have modems - had to teach sales critter that a cable modem was not a phone modem, and that serial is not USB (the last they carried). So I'll order a new one online.

Is there a better after market network based fax system that you'd recommend?

We'd like it to:
-screen out and refuse faxes from certain numbers on a list.
-put all faxes into one location on the network, where no one but the administrator can delete items.
-allow anyone to search and print or copy the incoming faxes.
-probably store faxes by date, preferably automatically (1 folder per day).
-send faxes from desktop - Word, etc.
-scan in and send faxes from any desktop.
-maintain address book. MS fax seems to fail in this respect with Contacts.
-maintain record of incoming and outgoing faxes.
 
Looks like WinFax Pro was discontinued some time ago, and the last version (10.3?) rec'd bad reviews.

Anybody try FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro or any other product?

Just happy with MS Fax?
