Where do you get the data?

Once you get Viewfax configured properly it will download the latest
model data.
The command sequence goes like this from the pull down menu:
File Get Data
At the bottom select Model: GFS, then drag and draw a box on the map
for the area of interest. Then press the "Request" button. That
will bring up a pop-up configuration window where you specify dates,
times and model parameters. In the beginning I'd stick to something
simple like Prmsl (sea level pressure), Wind, Waves and Rain.
After you've checked off the boxes, click "send" and the model data
will download.
It sounds more complicated than it really is and once you've
configured it once it remembers the settings.
OK I may have figured it out. The Beta says it supports direct
download but my virus scanner will not let me run it.
I usually don't fool around with Betas, let some hobbyist catch the
arrows. When this is in general release, I will try again. We are not
going to have any weather here until next July or August anyway. ;-)

The version I'm running is 5.0.56 - It does not say Beta.
