I haven't tried this.

Check out the release notes for lpr (in particular, search for
"fax" in NextAdmin with DL).  The 3.0 lpr allows an argument for
-DYYYYMMDDhhmm for deferred printing.
Apparently, all fax jobs go through lpr.  Watch the spool
directories (like /usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Fax) when you send
a fax.  I imagine that command-line faxing will just require
modifying the header on your .ps file to include entries like:

%%NXFaxVersion: 300
%%NXFaxNumber: xxx-xxxx
%%NXFaxTo: My Friend
%%NXFaxNotify: YES
%%NXFaxHires: YES
%%NXFaxTrim: YES

I haven't tried this.
