They use a box that has a chip in it where it converts the fax tones from your fax machine to some protocol I forget the name of (fax over internet) then when that protocol comes out into the PTSN it's converted back to a fax.
Unfortunately your fax machine has to support this protocol. It's part of all newer fax machines.
