Our company, Great Valley Technologies, wanted to provide a faxing solution for our clients (medical offices) which would
a) seamlessly integrate with our Progress product
b) require no hardware/software installation
c) scale well (price-wise) for clients ranging from a single-doctor office up to a hospital.
After some research, we ended out with Faxage.com (www.faxage.com), which gave us "$10.00 per month per concurrent channel with a flat rate of 0.018 (1.8 cents) per minute for outbound faxing. Inbound is also possible at the same 0.018 rate for local numbers and 2 cents a minute for toll-free numbers". (If you want rates other than the ones posted on their site, you have to e-mail them.) Compared to vsi-fax (which would have been about $5500 just to get started) this is really good!
Don't know yet how reliable they will prove to be long-term, but in case anyone else wants to use this company, here is sample code for send fax/get fax status/clear fax using HTTPS POST. It's a bit tricky, so hope this saves someone else some time. Most of this code is from the KnowledgeBase, just modified for this particular instance.
