but the keyword is sheet-feeding. I don't know of any sub $200.00 scanners that come with a sheet feed option, and if available often the sheet-feeder costs more than the scanner. As pointed out above you can get a black box that "emulates" the dial tone for you. Jaycar should be able to help you out. Also some fax support 200 dpi scans so you may be able to get fairly good results. Failing that get your self a $80,000 Kodak document scanner, we've got them at work and they work really well, and if you don't want mis-feeds you can go the air feed and air separated model. I don't the price that scanner, but it had it's own room + air con :) Regards Mehmet Ozdemir -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
