It wouldn't even be *that* hard.  Just print each one to PDF, except 
the first, which you print to a printable-fax client that allows 
attachments.  Then you attach all of the PDFs and send it.  The only 
difference between this and what you are familiar with is the manual 
attaching part.

If you had (if there were) a client that allowed you to send multiple 
files this way (automaticaly attaching them), then it would work, but 
as of yet no client that I know of does this.  It could, though, most 
authors of the various HylaFAX clients are available for hire to 
enhance their product - some of it's even open-source, and you could 
hire your favorite hacker to do it.

Possible, but not yet available, as I said.

Now, if you're talking about sending a few pages with fine resolution 
formatting and a few pages with some other resolution, then that's a 
different thing, but I don't think that you're talking about that.
