Sending out mass (group) fax

Does anyone know how to set up 2007 Windows XP Pro Version 5.1 Service Pack 3
Fax Console (set up already with the Microsoft Fax Setup Wizard that came
with operating system) so that I can send the same fax to about 50 different
fax numbers? I already have the letter typed in Word and have it Mail Merged
with the list of names and fax numbers as instructed by the "How-to"
Microsoft Office Online article to set up form letters, e-mails or faxes;
however, Mail Merge seems to have no provision for faxing--only for printing.
It has allowed me to insert each fax receiver's name and fax number below
the date on the letter, but now I'm at a standstill.

Thanks for any help or advice!

Windows XP Fax Services was not really designed for broadcast faxing.
See, e.g.,

.... but some people have made it work, kinda ...
