looking for recommendations for hardware and software.

What boards are best?  Who has the niftiest soft support?

I think what I am looking for is...

	Sending and Receiving
	(Text,PS) --> FAX
	FAX --> PS
	Queueing
	Decent management ability

Extras:
	Voice mail?  Tone recognition?  Voice generation?

Thanks for your support.

especially the conversion stuff is interesting. we need a OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) software for UNIX (Sys V).
i could have bought a dozen DOS programs on CeBIT faire, but
not a single UNIX program that does this.

what we want to have in the end is the above plus
- scanned images --> fax
- scanned imaged --> ascii/iso8859
- fax            -->   "      "

any pointers would be appreciated!
