10.3: Manually receive an incoming fax

When your phone rings and you realised you're receiving a fax and not a phone call, run to your computer, and type in the Terminal sudo fax receive. After you've typed your password, your computer will start receiving the fax.

It will be placed in your home folder and have a name such as 1214190520.001. Rename this to anything ending in .fax, double-click on it, and you're done!

IMPORTANT NOTE: for this to work, you must NOT have enabled fax receiving in your pref pane!
