asterisk users - Jul 2003 - Using Efax for virtual fax?

Has anyone attempted to use Efax as a virtual fax? I know that * will
answer and route to a fax device, but the question is, would * answer
the fax tone and then call my e-fax phone number and then route the fax
to that? And if so, how does one go about doing that?
 
Thanks,

If you have a open phone line it can use, and is a good connection then
you just answer the line, set up the fax extension and in the fax
extension you dial out to the efax number. 

You will probably need to have a T1 to make it work at any decent speeds
as the multiple analog conversions will probably kill any modem.
