Installation: easy - just drag the program to your application folder.
System impact: minimal - obviously only one preference file (~/Library/Preferences/org.vafer.Fossi.plist).
Application integration: none - no services offered to other programs, no drag'n drop. Growl support.
Gateway provider support: good - Myfax, Sipgate, Interfax (fax.tc), Euteliavoip, Efax, Faxator, Dus). I'm using sipgate.
User interface: frugal - well, it's beta. But pretty self-explaining.
Documentation: none.
Bugs: Test button for Sipgate doesn't work; it rejects the password. I added a password section to the preferences file, but I'm not sure if this is required. The Growl support is a bit too good: I received 4 or 5 alerts.
Function: very good.
Would recommend: yes.
Short usage hints:
Add an account in the preferences window. You have to sign up to the service before, you cannot do it from Fossi. For Sipgate press the "Test" button, enter the correct password, and ignore the error message. If you cannot send faxes afterwards, add a password section to the preferences file (e.g. with BBEdit 9).
To prepare a fax, you have to save it as RTF or PDF.
To send a fax, chose Files->Faxes, and the File->Open. In the following dialog fill in the fax number - it seems to support only one. Press send, and that's about it. You get a number of Growl alerts when the file is transmitted to the gateway provider.

Yes, this sure looks interesting, but of course it needs way more services included than just Sipgate...! I've been using eFax (http://www.efax.com/) for quite some time and their Mac client sucks big time, so it would be awesome to see support for the eFax service...! I guess it's also a matter of the service providers letting you use their APIs, but I'll be looking forward to further improvements... :)
I am sure it works a treat if you can set it up, but if you get to the idea of looking at their website before giving up think again.
Still no instructions - all I get is a dialog box saying 'check your settings' this is worthy of Windows.
