We did the same. We even send the e-mail from our iSeries to the fax gateway. App generates a PDF in the IFS and we send the IFS document as an email attachment.

Subject: Re: Fax Over IP (FOIP) ?
Jack,
Is anyone using this today on I5, if so could you elaborate. Have you
replaced your dial up solution with this??
I have a customer which still uses traditional fax machines for incoming faxes, but has low-volume needs to send stuff on demand to customers who want copies of statements or various types of information faxed. We already had the ability to email much of this stuff as a PDF attachment but amazingly not all the customers have email and want faxes instead.
So we merely setup an account with www.maxemail.com and email the PDF to (phonenumber)@(gateway) and they fax the PDF contents. It was/is too cheap to justify doing any other way, and lets customer service people easily fax anything that most other customers prefer emailed.
It did not display the regular fax machines.
Doug
