Andrew,
Thank You for Your immediate response on my question. Because I have no 
Win 98 or Corel and PsP does not work (this special case V. 4.12) I think I 
have a real problem. Postscript will not solve the problem as well, bacause we 
have no programm to read EPS (or else) on these Windows machines.

May be there is a way to configure the ELSA-modem or hylafax to receive only 
1-D compressed faxes or to negotiate only these ?

Please excuse the long quotes here, I would líke to post the messages again.
