   I need to know how (exactly!) you generated the fax G3 files, what the
   pages on the receiving end look like, and what kind of fax machine was at
   the receiving end.

ok, i generate a4-paper-size sheets with LaTeX (dinbrief), convert
them to DVI format and feed the DVI-file into 'faxspool'. 'faxspool'
adds its header (2 lines). the resulting page has 1728x2386 pixels.

i sent the fax to several fax-mashines with the same 'BAD PAGE'
result. one of it was a elsa faxmodem controled by elsa's windows
program. the received page contained only the first few rows,
fax header. but the g3-fax-file i sent seems to be
ok because i can view it with 'g3view' without any problems.

here is a part of the Faxlogfile i got, i hope you can help me with
this additional informations.
