I did that. I have a 56k internal modem. So I installed the WinXP
fax services; cabled the modem to the phone socket; and left the
program running, set to "receive automatically after two rings".
Surprisingly it worked. But I won't know how much it cost until I
get the bill.
Nothing I should think.
Unless you have to pay your provider to receive incoming calls.

Right. But they don't come through the ISP. They are direct-dial to
my
home number. And so they are subject to BT costings; which is zero
for
incoming calls.
Another thing. With the WinXP fax service installed, you don't need
to
load the program to monitor incoming stuff. It becomes part of the
system services, and loads at start-up.
The only draw-back is having to keep the old 56k modem connected.
That and when your Aunty Edith rings you, she gets greeted (after two
rings) by a squealing/squawking modem. :-)
