Paul:

One possible solution is not a program, but a service. By using the 
services of J2.com
(formerly JFAX.xom), you can fax a document or email message by sending it to
an address composed of the <country code# fax#@j2.com>. The body of the email
message (or attached file) will be faxed to the number.

To automate the process, perhaps you can have an apple script written 
to automatically
forward email messages to this email-to-fax J2 address?

You will need to sign up for a J2 FAX number for this service. But, 
they are not
costly, about 12 bucks a month, and you can use it for voice mail/fax 
reception as
well.
