We purchased a Cypress FAXPro modem a few months ago.  In general we 
are pretty happy with the unit.

FAX quality is extremely high
Installation is pretty easy
Chooser for FAXing is real nice
PhoneBase database for FAX numbers is real useful


The only places that we had problems came from the network 
installation.

FAX server Mac must have a well optimized hard disk, and it must be 
re-optimized regularly.
The Mac that has the modem plugged into it (if it is not the server 
Mac will go away from its owner for 1 to 5 seconds as it checks the 
server Mac (disk optimization helps here too)


My recommendations:

Great FAX modem!
Works well in a network situation, but you MUST have a dedicated 
server Mac
