Which easy Fax software is recommended?
 

I'd like to visit my folks in Europe, but need to work over there a bit
during my stay.
However, since the place where I am staying has no fax machine, I would need
to use my laptop to receive faxes. Is there any free fax software available
which you could recommed? I don't need any bells and whistles, and it should
be easy to install. It's just for a month or so.
A normal phone line is available; Internet only via 56 KB modem since it's a
place out in the sticks...:-)


Thanks,
Murgi
