I use a round-about way of converting graphical faxes into an Autocad file.  
My faxing software has an option to "SAVE AS..." and then 2 or 3 different 
file types.  The one that I use is a "*.EPS" file which I believe stands for 
"Encapsulated PostScript" or something to that effect. Then, I either bring 
up CorelTrace, which can convert bitmapped images (*.eps) into vector images, 
or I use a Shareware Program called "The Graphics Factory" which can do a 
*ton* of different file conversions.  I sometimes don't do a trace, but 
convert whatever it is I have into a *.DXF file (the CorelTrace can be saved 
in this format as well).
  Autocad does an o.k. job of DXFing' in.  As far as the text stuff goes, 
ACAD-r12 comes with a lisp routine called "ASCTEXT.LSP" that can import 
standard ascii text files.  I think the default directory for this program 
is.."/acad/sample/".  I move everything around so that's a guess.  Good luck.
