This is exactly what I'm doing to archive faxes... 
Mine is converting to pdf.. dumping links into mysql, and a web interface to 
search/view them later..

the important line from my ./bin/faxrcv script is as follows...

/usr/bin/tiff2ps -a2 -z $FILENAME | /usr/bin/ps2pdf - $NAME.pdf >> 
/var/spool/fax/bin/messages.txt 2>&1

This is put into the script after the 
if [ -f $FILE ]; then
stuff...

Maybe I'm a bit "hackish" but I haven't had any problems yet
