Chris,
Yours is the first request I have seen for DOS fax software in about
a year, so I don't really think the demand is really there for DOS fax
software. I've seen a few shareware or freeware very simple DOS fax
utilities that will do the job, but there really isn't too much in the
way of any full featured DOS fax software packages that are up to date
with todays hardware and I don't expect that to change. A desktop
machine that will run Win95 (and run it well) can be had dirt cheap
nowadays. The only component that remains expensive would be a good
monitor.
