Facsimile transmission works with GRAPHICS rather than text.  If you
are talking about using Screen reader to read the actual transmission 
you are out of luck.  You would need an OCR program to convert the
graphics image to text and THEN it might be read by Screen Reader. I 
haven't seen any fax boards which have this capability built into the
system yet.  

Good luck.
