Hmmm, you didn't ask "how do I do it?", you asked "is it possible?".   
And the precise and complete answer to that is "yes".  Never argue with
mathematicians.

No.  The manual will be sufficient.

Http://alpha.greenie.net/mgetty/ and then go to the "full HTML manual" (or
something like this).

Polling is actually quite easy - store the files to be sent somewhere, in
.G3 format, set up a file listing all pages, and tell mgetty with the "-S"
option about this.
