Jason touched on the easiest solution: email to fax.  You can use PHP to send the 
email, at which point it will be converted to fax.  Simply add a layer of code such 
that if your user chooses to send via fax, the message is transparently relayed to the 
email/fax gateway.

Still does.

The closest equivalent to that would be to print via IPP. But I doubt whether 
many people are set up for that.

There are also plenty of subscription type email-fax gateway services that you 
can integrate with PHP.
