Digital Receiver, SOHO device?
Is that all the digital sender does?

Why not make a digital receiver, receives the faxes, but doesn't have a printer like a fax machine to print them, instead emails them to a destination mail address as attachments?
A sort of stripped down fax machine.

I assume they have that hole covered too somehow?

What I'd like is a SOHO OFFICE device, a box the size of a router that takes calls like an answering machine, allows touch tone retrieval of information & fax information by third parties, receives faxes and forwards them via email to me, receives voice mail and forwards via email or replays them to another voice address/mobile phone.

There's various unified messaging services on the internet (but I lose my number and have to pay a monthly fee), there's some Windows software, but PCs really aren't good enough for this, too much rebooting, hard disk spin up time to long, too complicated/messy, the last thing I want to do when I'm away from my desk is rush back to apply a security patch to my fax machine PC!

But a nice box that just works, like my NAT server would be nice.
