i know you got your gear already, but another way is to get one of those brother (or prolly other brands too) all in 1 type fax/printer/scanner. the cheaper one i got doesn't do double side, but it can scan a stack of papers. they're usually not as hardy, so it's a good idea to buy 2 of the same thing (keep one at house for light duty as backup), but it's twain compliant and can scan directly in w/ ac4.

it also has a fax-to-pc program (or if you have a windows server type OS, then i think there's a built in program for that) that automatically saves your faxes onto a computer (without need for printing faxes onto paper).

only thing is when i'm scanning color images (ie. gi pics, etc), the file sizes come out huge--i'll save that for a posting in the prob section.
