a.k.a. sendmail mangling... okay, I'm following...

MS-DOS?  You probably mean "script".  I'm guessing something like 
procmail?

As usual with mail-to-fax applications.

Well, if you want to limit the interface to mail-only, then you need to 
develop a way to do "faxstat-by-mail" and "faxalter-by-mail", etc.  
This could get to be a pain, but it's the limit you have imposed by 
limiting to mail-only interfacing.  If you can provide web-interfacing, 
then that would be a way to provide access.
