You can use T.38, perhaps, if your VoIP provider supports it and you can 
get it working.  But unless you need faxes to go through the telephony 
system (i.e. you have fax machines hooked up to FXS ports) I'd recommend 
using an on-line fax service such as Mainpine's instead of trying to do 
fax over VoIP.

Fax over internet-strewn SIP generally isn't going to work very well.

So on your MFP you'll scan it instead of using the system's "fax" 
capability, and then fax it through the online service.

Thanks,
