Would it enable me to just put a paper in the fax, dial a number and
"send", and vice-versa (accept a fax sent from a normal analogue fax
machine and dialed to my home number)?

> Many stand-alone faxes actually support T.37 (basically: Fax over SMTP).

Thanks. Will look for it in my fax' guide but I don't think that
places which expect a fax (for semi-legal reasons or just because of
Procedures(TM)) would accept an email, would they?

That's what everybody keeps saying but as far as I managed to learn
about this protocol, at some stage you have to have some T.38<->PSTN
gateway to be able to talk to regular faxes.
