Ok in 3.0 you can put the following in your postscript file:
%%NXFaxVersion: 300
%%NXFaxNumber: 6172586264
%%NXFaxTo: Pascal Chesnais
%%NXFaxNotify: YES
%%NXFaxHires: YES
%%NXFaxTrim: YES
%%NXNextStepVersion: 3.0

then you can use lpr -PLocal_Fax_modem mypostscript.ps

Of course you need to put the right phone number...

I do not know if this works in 2.x...  I snarfed this from preview.app...
I assume you know how to set up printers/modems for remote access
(/etc/hosts.lpd)
