	The only fully integrated Fax<-->PS system I know of is the new (2.0)
OS for NeXT computers. NeXT treats fax machines as 200dpi remote printers,
and since all imaging is done in postscript on the NeXT, *anything* that can
be printed can be faxed at 200dpi.
	Incoming faxes are stored as tiff files and may be incorporated into
NeXTmail directly.
	The catch is that you need a Class 2 fax modem (or what NeXT calls a
Class 2 fax modem) hooked to one of the serial ports on the NeXT. As far as I
know, such beasts are only currently available from Abaton and Dove.
