send documents instead of voice? I mean having two SIP endpoints which can
transfer, say, a postscript file. Then we should build SIP fax machines which
can scan documents to ps and send and receive via SIP, and as well build PSTN
gateways which receive from SIP and simply pass ps data to some fax server
like hylafax.
T.37 uses a more or less similar approach for receiving Faxes from PSTN
and forward it to IP, see

for details.
But why using SIP when there is SMTP?
