I have a friend in a Technical Call Centre who has this sort of thing
set up on a RH Linux box. He uses (I think) HylaFAX to receive the
faxen, then pipes the output into xv to convert it to jpeg. At that
point, he just leaves them on his web server that dynamically builds the
pages and links allowing other people in the Call Centre to view their
faxen and either copy them, print them and delete them.

Not sure how you'd go about extracting the person's name to know who to
mail it to, unless you emailed them all to one user (secretary?) and
they would then forward to the appropriate person.

hth,

H

p.s. I've not done this myself, yet. Only one modem, one phone(data)
line, and that tends to be used for 'net traffic ;')
