I've sent faxes from programs before using the opensource HylaFax system 
before.
Providing you can cfexecute, and have a fax modem to hand, it should be easy 
from CF.

Has anyone done this? what options do I have?

While I have not uses a fax modem attached to a server, it should not be too hard to run it via cfexecute. 

The other way would be to use a fax service such as eFax (see http://www.efax.com). There all you need to do is to establish an account with them and use email to send an receive faxes. That might be your simplest option. I've done this before with a couple of different projects.

When I did it I was using a third-party service via Fax Away
(http://www.faxaway.com) that processes an email and sends it out via fax.
There is a cost related to that service but it definitely does it's job
well.

If an email-to-fax solution is acceptable then you also have the option of
doing the faxing yourself.GFI's FaxMaker is reasonably priced.
