Have you looked at the WANG image add-in that you can ftp from
Microsoft? It understands the received tiff files (even to the point
of being able to show a thumbnail view of multipage documents) so
an appropriate disk link to the server via samba might be all you need.
A few conventions for logging/storing outbound faxes and rolling
the inbound sequence numbers over (perhaps date-stamped directories)
might make it easier and the price is right...
