Hi,

John Earl sends a patch to this mailing list for this problem :

-----------------------------------------------------------------
flexfax: FIX for the PAGEWIDTH (Pixelsize) Problem
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 12:21:25 -0400
From: Jon Earle <jearle@hubcc.ca>
To: flexfax@sgi.com


in the PS2FAX file, modify the last portion of the script which tosses
the
file off to Ghostscript as follows:

Change the first line of this from: 

        $CAT $fil | $PS -q \

to:
        $CAT $fil | $SED -e 's/dup \/PageSize \[612 792\] put//g' | $PS
-q \

This removes the pagesize info from the postscript file, and all seems
to
work fine thereafter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

whfc is not tested on NT 3.51 but i have reports that it works
there (but it will never works on Windows 3.11 because of the
great compatibility of the microsoft products).
