I am looking for software/hardware to allow the reception of a
FAX document on a computer (PC, MAC, UNIX, ??) and then "read"
the FAX with OCR software into an ascii document.

I have seen ads for OCR software that can "read" scanned
documents, and hardware that allows a computer to receive a FAX,
so.... can they get together??
