It's pretty easy to make the faxcover that you are using on the Unix box
work under Whfc.  The problem ( for me ) was that the faxcover program on 
the Unix box generates a routine called "BreakIntoLines".  The faxcover 
program with Whfc DOES NOT generate this routine.  So, just take one of 
the faxes that have been sent with a cover page ( or run the unix
comand "faxcover") , cut out the routine & put it at the top of your
postscript faxcover page.  Well, not at the top, but somewhere near
the top.  If you need a hand, drop me a line.

/BreakIntoLines
{ /proc exch def
  /linewidth exch def
  /textstring exch def
  /breakwidth wordbreak stringwidth pop def
  /curwidth 0 def
