About 5 years ago, I ran across a company.....

Their deal was that you sent them a PDF file and they would fax it.  At
that time, their market was broadcasting a fax to thousands (or more)
sites  (kind of sounds like spam for fax, nowadays).

But it makes me wonder if this company or others, may have a service
that companies can use (for a fee of course).

Not directly what you are looking for, but it may be better then
hooking up a bunch of business lines back into your mainframe (like in
the days of the modem bank).

Are you sure you'd really want to do this on a zSeries? Back when I
had
a fax system at home, the fax modem was connected to an RS-232 serial
port on my PC. Is it even possible to attach a serial modem directly
to
a zSeries channel or some box on a zSeries channel? OK, I remember
doing
this in the deep, dark past using an NTO gen on a 3705. Many years
ago.
Talk about channel and CPU overhead!
