That means buying and supporting another Windows box. Why not just run it with
HylaFAX on the SCO box itself, or another UNIX or Linux box, and get full
incoming and coutgoing fax and dial-up modem services? The software's free: it
does take some attention to set up correctly, but for a simple setup it's
pretty trivial.
