SH-> I am seeking help for my brother who is looking for a telecom/fax app
  -> to do the following:
SH-> He needs to set it up on an old XT and be able to run a small "BBS"
  -> something that will allow his clients to U/L an ascii file via Z-Modem
  -> or other, AND a program that would recognize a Fax call and take it in
  -> as well.
SH-> My question is can Q-Modem do this for him?
Yes and No
Yes is will be a excellent 'small' BBS for someone to use.  But it's
features are really limited, but it will do what you asked.
What it won't do is receive faxes.  So, I would suggest you find a copy
of Big Fax.  (Helping you set that up is beyond this conference.)
Have BGFAX answer the phone and if the call is a fax, let it handle
that. If the call is not a fax, have BGFax call/execute Qmodem.  You can
specify a script/host file to start it up in host mode and not reset
the modem. You'll have to edit the script file to make Qmodem exit after
the call ends. Then BGFax will rerun and the cycle starts over again.
This is off the cuff and not tested.  But with a little tinkering this
should work.
