Can't you ask to the people that wanted mapi to produce word docs and then
print them automatically through some sort of macro/ole to a printer you
define as postscript printing to file (there are examples of this in the
whfc pages)?
This way you would have on Windows a dir full of
<faxno1>.ps (or .prn)
<faxno2>.ps
...

This was you can, on unix/linux, mount the windows dir and

for i in /path/*.ps
do
	faxno= basename of $i , and some "sed" to get the faxno
	sendfax .... -d $faxno $i
done

Or you can ask them to directly interface with the whfc ole server so that
fax will be sent directly, withouth further intervention.
