    Can anyone recommend an OCR utility to use in conjunction with hylafax.

    do this.

Are you trying to convert faxes to ASCII format?  There are utilities
for converting TIFF fax format to PostScript (`fax2ps' or `tiff2ps')
and PostScript to ASCII (`ps2ascii'), but I suspect the results would
be rather lame, especially when a fax contains graphics.
