Hi Cheryl, how were you going to hook up a fax machine? you'd need a land line for that. With your setup, faxing through the internet is ideal if the interface can be accessible. I don't know much about it but I do know that if you set up fax on the Mac, you can email the results instead of sending them to a phone. There is a fee for internet faxing but I don't know what the charges are. As for scanned material, ocr does not play a part on your end. You scan to fax and the result is turned into a tiff file which is then sent as you direct.

You say I need a modem. I believe there is a modem on the non-intel mac mini; at least I see the connector, but does this mean it has to be connected to a phone line or something? I don't have a landline phone and of course i'm using wireless ethernet not ppp. So how does this work? 2. If this is a hardcopy document, do you mean that I have to use a scanner to scan it first/ Because if so, I'm going to have to worry about how accurate the ocr was. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
