Ask HN: Why can't I send faxes from my phone?

on occasion i've had need to send faxes. most of the time i don't have access to a fax machine and so i end up paying some service that'll let me upload a pdf and charge me $10 for 50 pages.

what is it about fax technology that i can't just program my phone to send a fax? what are fax machines doing that i can't emulate in software???
