You might be able to interface with the faxing capabilities available 
within Outlook on Windows.  On the Unix/Linux side, I wouldn't be 
surprised to find that there are packages that will allow this, though 
they may take fiddling around.

If you're just looking at sending faxes, there are a couple of other 
options as well:
  * Most fax servers take input files (generally Postscript Level 1), 
    however the prices for those tend to start out fairly high and go up 
    from there
  * Setting up to be able to send the document you want faxed as an email 
    attachment might work - for a corporate environment with a fax 
    server, it's likely that it's capable of accepting messages to be 
    faxed (though this may not be configured), for solo users it may be 
    possible to use one of the Internet-based faxing services.  This may 
    require some fiddling to meet the requirements for different servers.
