Yeah, it should be possible (eg using efax or sendfax for the back end) but no one's written something like that yet.

I'm always wondering why they don't inlucde this function in the new smartphone so we can fax using the phone or thru computer directly, even we can tether it as a dial up modem, or the fax protocol can't go thru the cellular network?
Fax is probably considered a "legacy" medium by now, and with good reason, but they even removed support for dial-up PPP in Maemo 5 :-(
