I wish there was a fax machine that was able to accept data input from the originator that could then be used by the receiver in a database type application.

Example: 'Faxer' enters some data like a filename or reference number into the fax machine, prepares the document for faxing, and dials into a fax server. When the document is received, the image is stored and the data entered by the 'faxer' can be used to associated the digitized image with a certain database record or filename. If anyone has any ever heard of any technology like this, please contact me at nedzep@yahoo.com

       Or 'MS Fax' when sending from one computer to another...which amounts to email.

       BAKED. It's called a scanner.

       You seem to be seeking document management software. There is document management software already. The results of a web search on document management software might please you.   

       Or you may be planning to come back in a day and write "Hey guys, I found the best way to do this! Check out www.SmartFax.com!!!!!" -- in which case, curse your steaming, smooth-running marketing superbrain.

       Yes, software exists that can (pre)read a fax. No, I won't tell you where to find it.
