Pretty sure that Epson will just gobble up what it can in memory, then start sending, and the additional pages will just spool and send when they can. This is how buffers work on printers too.
Another couple options.
MetroFax is an eFax service that you can upload documents too. There’s probably a file size limit, so you may need to break it into several jobs. Also it will cost money per page I believe.
There are still USB fax modems (https://www.amazon.com/Robotics-USR5637-Controller-Dial-Up-External/dp/B0013FDLM0/) that will work with macOS. In this case, it’s essentially a print job that will spool to disk, then send. Doubt you’d be able to find one easily on short notice.
Good luck.

I do - dust off your old 56k modem (or buy this if you have a laptop), get a landline, and start throwing up BBSs again! I suspect ending net neutrality will bring back the BBS subculture as well as bring about neighborhood meshnets for higher speed access...
This problem is easy to fix with a pair of these.
