Re: flexfax: Corrupted image on faxes sent from Hylafax

[Tim Fredrick <fredrick@acd.ucar.edu>]

Sorry about that :-)   We have Redhat Linux 5.1 running kernel 2.1.122
and Hylafax RPM hylafax-4.0pl2-3rh5 on our Multitech modem.  Our
Ghostscript was compiled from sources for Ghostscript 5.01.

Any ideas of how to diagnose quality problems in sent documents such as
what I've described below?

Thanks in advance!  --Tim Fredrick
