well, some weeks ago i asked for a fax / scanning / OCR solution
for UNIX machines. there weren't much replies, most were "me too"
mails. only two were informative. anyway, here's what i got:

Subject: Re: NEED: fax + scanner + OCR hard/software for unix
Caere Corp of Los Gatos CA has a pretty nice OCR package for
SCO UNIX. I will dig up their address for you at work and
send.
There is a fax package I like for SCO by George Pajari of
Faximum. Try ...uunet!faximum!pajari

i just got some sales literature for a product that might be what you
want. it's a scanner that connects via serial or scsi port, and does
ocr and fax in the scanner (which has a 68020 chip). It has a character
and an X Windows interface. it is called the "Unix Scanner" and is sold by
Intelligent Optics Corporation
22 Pequot Park Road
P.O. Box 910
Westbrook, CT 06498-0910
U.S.A.
phone (203) 399-7111 fax (203) 399-7137
All I know about it is what I "scanned" from the sales lit... :-)
I'd appreciate it if you would share the responses you get with me.
We are mostly interested in scanning and ocr rather than fax.

i've send a fax to the latter company, but haven't got anything
back yet.
