I did this the way Dragan mentioned eons ago. If you dig around, you can get documentation for the Winfax SDK and that will do it.
Allow lots of time for testing. It's a real pain.
The code is long gone, I'm sorry to say.

In a more modern mode, a client recently had me do an interface to a service that takes emails and faxes attached PDF's to the fax number you provide in the email.

The email is addressed to fax number + "@faxage.com"

I did it with .NET so I can't share the VFP code, but it's just like sending any email with an attachment.
There are several services that do this. Our client chose faxage.

It's a whole lot easier than tussling with the Winfax SDK and you don't need a line or a modem.

Can you still get fax modems, I wonder?
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
