HP's and Brothers can do T.37. Unfortunately making them do T.37 means
teaching the users a completely different user interface.

All that is needed is a way to tell the fax machines that when a user
types 123 456 7890 on the fax machines and presses start, it should
act as if the machine had switched to the alphabetic keyboard, gone
through a bunch of menus, and typed 1234567890 at fax.example.com.
