Maybe it is possible to attach an applescript to the Fax Folder? I don't know if a fax would trigger this, and I haven't tested this...


(* Folder gets a red label, and a dialog is displayed *)
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
set label index of this_folder to 2
display dialog "Faxes received"
end tell
end adding folder items to


(* When the folder is opened, the red label is removed *)
on opening folder this_folder
tell application "Finder"
set label index of this_folder to 0
end tell
end opening folder

    Apple has posted a technical document on how to get Panther to notify you when a new fax arrives:

    I just published a little installer for a folder action, it notifies the user and opens the Fax in Preview: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21692
    It's freeware. Hope this helps someone!
