No, you can't fax through a DSL connection unless you subscribe to a
web-based fax service.

Dial-up modems are cheap. Get one and you'll be able to fax too.

DSL is an entirely different technology and you cannot fax across it
direct to a regular fax machine or fax modem. There are services where
you can send a file and they will transmit it on for you as a fax but I
don't know how effective they are or the cost

If you want to do it a lot, a separate cheap fax modem for the purpose
might pay off
