Make suer the file is postscript (if it is not, use enscript and turn
it into a postscript file).
Use lpr and specify the phone number and the name using comment like:
%%NXFaxNumber: 9,1-800-234-5678
%%NXFaxTo: me
%%NXFaxNotify: YES
%%NXFaxHires: YES

It seems to work under both 3.0 and 2.x.
Anyone want to give us a shell script?

My question is, how do I specify to send a fax at 11:00pm through
command line under 3.0?  Thanks.
