Sure... just send an email of the following form:

To:remote-printer.to_@16172536969.iddd.tpc.int
                  ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^
                   |       |
                   |       number
                   name 

Where you replace the ten digit number with the fax number.  Also, replace the 
to_ above with the name of the recipient like Vernon_Imrich so that it will be 
printed on the fax cover page.

Be sure you keep a copy of the email because service is very limited and you 
might get a message saying it couldn't do it.

In any case, you will get a reply from the system stating what happened.

Really.
