Good non-internet fax software for Windows 7 ?

[seveny]

I have expended my rage at the Windows 7 native fax software in
another thread and hope to keep it contained there. I am ready to
move on.

Can anyone share their anecdotes on non-internet fax software for
Windows 7? Conventional web search is made much more protracted by
the fact that Windows 7 already has a fax & scan app, and by the
prevalence of internet fax.

Thanks.

What I have found to work are Snappy Fax and EssentialFax. I had to decrease the baud rate to 48kbps for EssentialFax before faxes could be received.

Unfortunately, neither of these apps include the fax details along the top and/or bottom edge of each page, as one might see in a conventional fax. I guess this was just a convention adopted by traditional fax machines.
