Well, if you have some faxsoftware you can use ... thats a start.
You could just built a html page as output and run it throught html2ps to
have it converted to postscript and then send that postscript file to your
faxsoftware.

I do this on Linux, using hylafax with a proper multitech modem.
Works like a charm.

So PHP has no faxiing ability, it has to use whatever fax software is
on the machine.

Correct. PHP is not designed for that purpose AFAIK ... but does very well
in what it is designed for.
