No. There is no such thing as a fax program that uses TCP/IP. Faxes
work over phone lines. Not over the internet. It's possible that you
could use an internet to fax gateway (try http://www.tpc.int/, for
example), in which case, yes, your fax would need to go through the
Netgear box to get to the gateway.

If you have a modem, then you can send a fax with hylafax or sendfax
(distributed with mgetty). But it won't be over the internet, and
hence your firewall need never know about it.
