Command line fax app

Anyone know of an off-the-shelf app that will fax an existing file (on a drive) from a batch script or a command line (OS = Win XP)?

Thanks for looking this up for me.  I can spend some time developing this but my skills are in jscript and C++.    Do you happen to know offhand any references to jscript for this?  I couldn't find much about it on MSDN?  Thanks again.

Nanocosm -
I found at least 3 commercial fax apps with APIs that one can integrate with his
own script or compiled app to get command line functionality:

1)  Network Superfax 8.0 + API    at  SuperVoice.com
2)  32bit/64bit Internet Fax           at  ElectraSoft.com  
3)  GFIFAXmaker                        at  GFI.com            

Attached is a stand-alone jscript file I made from the MSDN VBScript example you offered.  
I removed references to the FAXCOMEXLib, which is not shipped with WinXP.

It sends a fax nicely using the Windows XP Fax server..
It accepts 3 command line arguments for recipient name, recipient fax number,
and fax document.    Any number can be added.

Thanks   - easyb
