This would mean implementing some basic store and forward routines, which 
would be great for fax relaying over slow/unreliable links. Ofcourse this can 
be taken out of asterisk and routed via e-mail for instance. A simple procmail 
rule on the receiving end could enable sending it off to the local 
faxmachine...
