Q: Receiving Fax Straight My Mac

I was wondering how (if even possible) to receive a fax directly to my iMac? Instead of having just go directly to the printer to print, could I have it downloaded straight to my computer?

Thanks in advance

iMac, 24 Inch 500GB, Mac OS X (10.6.2), iPhone 3GS 32GB, iPod Touch 64GB, Every iPod Model, Windows XPS

    Think I finally figured out my Snow Leopard "fax receiving" problem.

    Turns out that in my old 10.5.8 Leopard partition, I have a plist file called com.apple.efax.plist. This was missing on my 10.6.x drive. I simply copied the file into my Snow Leopard /System/Library/LaunchDaemons folder and that seems to have done the trick.

    I haven't received any faxes yet, but at least the "receive faxes on this computer" preference stays checked after I close the window.

    If anyone else is having problems receiving faxes with the Apple USB modem, you may want to look for the "efax" file.
