The most useful software for sending .dvi files by FAX I've seen came
with my 14.4K Boca modem.  It's called QLINK, and it includes a TSR to
capture output to a HP compatible printer, and send it via FAX.  In
other words, anything you can print on an HP compatible laser printer,
QLINK can send over a fax.  QLINK includes complete PCL 5 emulation.

What I do now is just use the HP dvi driver that comes with emTeX,
capture the output via QLINK, and off it goes.  (This would also work for
WP, Ghostscript, Pagemaker, etc.)
