Command words: fax
Permission: Any

The fax command is used to scan a readable document into a connected fax machine and transmit it to another fax number. If the destination is a normal voice line, the far end will only hear modem-like screeching and the transmission will fail. Incoming faxes are queued in the machine if it has no paper or ink available to print them immediately.

The syntax is:

fax <machine> <number> <document>
