Well, your vsifax program is doing that "major pain in the behind" for 
you, and so that's why you have to pay money for it.

If you have an ASCII page with data on it in the proper locations and if 
you have a corresponding template file with the fields on it in the 
proper locations, then it's a fairly straight-forward step to merge the 
two together. Search the mailing list archives for "watermark" and 
"overlay".

Server-side watermarking should be a bit easier now with current CVS 
HEAD, as it can be scripted in using the FaxModify feature.
