Use exec() instead of system, and get the $error number, and use
perror on the command line to find out what went wrong.
cron runs in a different environment, and my first guess is that it
doesn't have access to /tmp/fax.txt, but that's just a guess.
You may also want to put quotes around "fax_number" in case it has
spaces in it...
