As far as I can tell, the Brother boxes require the user to enter
fax-over-internet addresses as actual email addresses. There is no way
to tell the machine to always use fax-over-internet, and there is also
no way to configure a default domain.

Asking fax users to select "email" and then type in
+15551234567 at fax.example.net on a tiny little keyboard just won't fly.
I don't understand why no fax vendors offer an easy fax-via-email user
interface.
