Actually, I think it's more effective to write to a file, then pass that
file to the Fax service.

If the server is a Windows 2000 system (not sure about NT), Win2k comes
with a fax service already installed. It's fully scriptable too. The
only gotcha is passing the text from CF to a wsh script is kinda kludgy
at the moment. I'd either do a cfexecute or just write the faxes to be
sent into a spool directory with cffile then run the fax script at a
scheduled interval which would read the files and send any faxes.
