Hello,
The original Mac mini was able to be ordered with a Modem rj11 jack
and also for internet a RJ45. The RJ 45 came as standard and the RJ
11 had to be ordered additionally. My old Mac mini has both RJ 45 and
RJ 11. I am also using a wierless setup. but I can also use my Fax
system through the RJ 11 phone connector.

Your Mac may or may not have a modem depending on how it was
ordered. But the Mac Mini's modem is a separate USB device not a
built in one. the opening you have is a built in ethernet port.
So let's assume you have a fax modem. You would need to have a
phone line to connect to this modem. It might be possible to
connect it to a cell phone but I've never done that. A third option
I have heard of is faxing through a cell phone via bluetooth. You
would, of course have to have a bluetooth enabled phone with fax
capacity, this sounds expensive.
Once you have this you can then send documents you created on your
Mac by selecting the Fax Modem from the list of printers and
entering the phone number. To fax paper documents you will need to
scan them. For sending you don't need to worry about OCR however as
all fazes are sent as TIFF images anyway. You are sending just a
picture of the document not the data that OCR generates.
I hope this was helpful.

Ok, I'm a little confused.
1. 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.
