Hmmm... in general, it has seemed to me that if you're going to have
fax incompatibilities, it is *most* likely to happen between 2
faxmodems, and least likely to happen between 2 fax machines, with
varying degrees of problem in the middle.  

I'd suggest, before digging too deeply into debugging, that you try two
things: make a call the other way (fax from the server to the laptop)
and have someone fax you something from a "real" fax machine.

My personal experience is mainly with MultiTech ZDX and ZBA 56 models,
and my few clients running server seem to have very little difficulty
with those.  But 1) not none at all, and 2) they ain't cheap.
