Might be (more on that below)

Done (below)

script/runner lib/fax_api.rb RUNS and submits the fax

these two lines will also connect to it
- script/console
-  >> require "lib/fax_api"

I've added (api = FaxAPi.new; api.send(...) to the bottom of my class)

Does anything above help us solve this quicker?  I've created a new bare 
bones rails application and it fails as well with called in a 
controller.

::SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("https://ws.interfax.net/dfs.asmx?WSDL")
-> uninitialized constant SOAP error


Now, the last thing I found was this ticket that implies many problems 
between rails and SOAP4R.  I didn't realize originally that I was using 
SOAP4R underneath all this, but I guess I am.

http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/ticket/433

They imply that there is a problem between rails and soap4r and the 
order of things.  I think they say I should be able to put "gem 
'soap4r'" at the top of my environment.rb or somewhere in my boot.rb, 
but I haven't had any luck with that yet.  This sounds like the most 
promising avenue however.
