I also use efax and have been extremely happy with it---small, easy to
use, and easy to configure.

It comes with a frontend script called `fax' (oddly enough) which
means that for, most purposes, all you have to do is prepare an ASCII
text file, and then:

  fax make FOO
  fax view FOO.001 (if you want to check how it looks)
  fax send NUMBER FOO.001

In fact, if you're confident about how it will look, or in a hurry,
you can just do:

  fax send NUMBER FOO

and the program will convert the ASCII file and also send the fax.

To send PS-files, you need to invoke Ghostscript to do the conversion,
and then use fax send,
