Quick note:  Winfax 3.0 can do what you want.  I don't have it
installed right now, so I can't give exact instructions, but under the
'Receive' menu (I think) is a 'manual receive' option.  This does an
'on-the-fly' fax receive.

I'm sending this to the list so 

1) anyone else who's interested gets the information
2) people don't get incorrect impressions about winfax.
