You may want to review the comments from Sipples and others on fax software.
I've been exploring this fax thing (some in our dept have the idea that
money can be saved by getting our fax machine to talk to our OS/2 machine
and then use internet mail). 

I did notice an interesting upload announcement from Gary Hennigan concerning
a front-end for ghostscript which sends faxes. Note also that the OS/2
2.1 beta includes some fax software (1 page only (?)). Here's some of
Hennigan's readme. This file is on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/comm/.

Note carefully that I have not tested this package, and the modem is not
the same as the one you've listed.

You've chosen to try PSFax/2, a program written by Gary Hennigan, to send
postscript files as faxes. PSFax/2 relies on the GNU utility Ghostscript to
perform a MAJOR portion of it's work, converting the postscript files to
Group 3 fax files. I'm distributing the executable for Ghostscript along
with the support files necessary for running it because I did have some
trouble compiling it. Be aware that this compiled version ONLY has support
for two devices, dfaxhigh and dfaxlow. This means that it will NOT display
postscript on your screen. If you want to take a crack at compiling
GhostScript yourself you can get the source on the same machine and in the
same directory where the extra fonts can be found, as mentioned previously.

         The only configuration I KNOW PSFax/2 works with is as
 follows:

                 486/33 with 16MB RAM
                 Supra FaxModem v.32bis
                 Connection with Class 2 fax machines only!
                 9600bps connection rate
