I've been using HylaFax http://www.hylafax.org/ for a couple of years
with excellent results.  We use it to fax advertisements for bids to
contractors, usually sending out 200 faxes at a time.  It seems to do a
better job than our previous software, winfax on that other OS.  SuSE
features HylaFax and has some nice add on utilities.  HylaFax was
developed at SGI, but I think it's GPL'ed -- it's mentioned as free
software on the GNU home page.
