The FAX program has a "driver" for a printer port (usually LPT3) that
when installed, intercepts data sent to that port, and converts it to a
fax to be sent. You usually have to have the data formatted for a
specific type of printer (EPSON FX-85 is common) as that way the fax
program can read the *graphics* data that most GUI based word
processors send to the printer.
