Yes, there are two main ways to send a fax through a linux machine:
1) Using fax software that connects through the computer's modem to a phone line - this makes the computer act like a fax machine, sending and receiving faxes in similar ways. This can be scaled up to almost any level - linux is a popular operating system for running everything form small computer faxes up to larger enterprise level fax services. Some services also offer an API so that you can integrate your business program with a service.
2) Using an online fax service that is accessed through a linux computer. This is a servie that is hosted by a company elsewhere, and sends and receives faxes on your behalf. It acts like a webmail email account, but for faxes.
