Can anyone recommend software that sends faxes over SIP?  I have plenty of
inbound fax to email services, but now and then I need to send a reply and
it looks tacky to use one of the free web ones that put an ad on it.

I know that if I wanted to pay $15/mo there are lots of lovely services
but we're taking about one fax a month, maybe, here.

Ideally it'd take a postscript or PDF or Word document and a phone number
and fax it to that number.  I have Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and MacOS boxes.  Any
suggestions?

I ran into this issue when we went to a SIP phone system earlier this year. We opted to go with HelloFax and it has 
worked well.

They do have a free account which allows you to send up to 5 faxes a month.
