Incorrect.  See 'man sendfax' and 'man faxcover'.  Since sendfax is not 
calling on faxcover (-n) the coverpage options for sendfax are useless.

faxcover -C mycustomcover.ps -r "Object" -x "Company" -c "CoverComment" 
-f "JJJ mgobbo@fracarro.com" | sendfax -n -d "TEST"@5551234

Exactly.  sendfax was given no input data by faxcover and was not given 
an input file.

Exactly.  You did specifiy the -n option, after all.  Also, by 
supplying an input file you're telling sendfax to ignore standard 
input, so even if the faxcover command were correct (and it's not), it 
still wouldn't have generated a cover page.  The correct way to do a 
coverpage and an input file is:

A good read of the man pages would help ;-)
