Producd PostScript files from your apps (e. g. by printing PostScript
into a file, feed these PostScript files through Ghostscript and select
faxg3 (or what your fax equipment needs)
as output device. 
If you have a fax equipment in your box, you may pipe the
ghostscript output directly to your fax app.
Hope this hint will help you.
