[Asterisk-Users] Get faxed you faxing faxer!

All this talk of faxing has started me thinking (this is 
always a bad thing) and I've come up with a question.

Now, I know Asterisk can detect and route faxes, to a 
'fax' extension and all that.  But can Asterisk be used to 
'receive' faxes?  

I know there was some talk about this just over a year ago 
and I'm wondering if anything came of it.  It would be 
nice to be able to receive faxes with asterisk and then 
have them filer through and AGI script and emailed or 
dumped in a directory/database/whatever.

I mean for me, currently, I have a fax/modem hooked up to 
the same machine asterisk is on, and it get's sent faxes 
via my FXS port.  It would be nice to be able to pull off 
the modem and throw it away. (or auction it on ebay)
