Uhhhhh....
no that will not work,
all that tiff2ps does with the fax-image is putting an apropriate
ps-envelope around the tiff-imagedata to print on a ps-printer.
if you process that ps-file with ps2ascii you will get an empty
text-file.
ps2fax only works with ps-files containing the text in ascii-characters,
embeded in the ps-commands telling at which place and in which font 
and size they should be printed on the page.
