    Thanks in advance, Frank.

You may enable the protocol trace of sendfax(1) by setting
the "-vv" flag (double v) and use this trace as a guide.
You also have to code your client to create an additional
data connection (passive open in your client, send the port
in a PORT command to hfaxd(1M) which does the active open)
to transfer the PostScript file. Come back to me if you
need more details.
