Re: flexfax: Viewing received faxes via http browser

["Prof. Julio C. Spinelli" <spine001@gold.tc.umn.edu>]

Hi Stefan,

I need to systematically send TIFF G3 files over the modem line, I don't
know much about image formats, what would be the smallest format that I
could use (they are faxes at low resolution) and what would be the best
compression program to use if any?

Would you happen to know where to find them? I would need to be able to go
back to TIFF G3 or to some format that hylafax can read,

Thanks in advance for your help,

Julio
