you might need to set tty into "raw" mode. depending on freebsd
version rfcomm_sppd will or will not do that.

you could try to use ppp in interacative mode, i.e. add

set device '!/usr/bin/rfcomm_sppd -a my_BT_ADDR'

to you ppp.conf, then start ppp and do 'term'  command.

also, be aware that many cell provides will block faxes.

thanks,
