I would send this via mail, except it should act as a cautionary note
for others who might do this.  There are a great number of PC-based FAX
machines available now which do not print to paper; they store incoming
message images on disk.  You are unlikely to be able to fill the
offending FAXer's disk over a slow modem line.  Your main accomplishment
will be to enrich the phone company.

You'll also tie up the guy's FAX line for a while, but he probably has a
bank of 20 of them vs. your one...

I'm not sure there's any good response to junk FAXes.  You could call
the voice number in the ad and yell at a human, but you'd only be making
some poor minimum-wage operator's day that much more miserable.  You
could send a bomb to the US mail address, but I think the gummint would
frown at that... ;-}
