Problems receiving faxes (corrupt TIFF files?).



I've just installed Hylafax (latest version in RPM format) on a Linux
system running Red Hat 5.2.  I also installed the latest (v5.10)
Ghostscript and matching GS fonts.

The fax modem is a Class 2 (not 2.0) internal fax modem.

Had few problems configuring Hylafax, and everything seemed to be OK. 
The system is configured to print faxes on reception.

When receiving a fax, the printout has a large blank area at the top of
the page, and only part of the fax appears.  The rest is missing (it
doesn't print on the following page).  After trying various options in
tiff2ps, I examined the received TIFF files with Photoshop 5 under
Windows 95.  Photoshop revealed that the TIFF files themselves are only
partial pages, so it seems the problem is occurring somewhere between
the line and the received fax spool...

I had a look through the session logs, buit these didn't indicate
anything abnormal, such as a line dropout.  One fax, which was 3 pages
actually had 3 pages in the received TIFF file, but all of these "pages"
were only a few cm high!).

Also looked through the FAQ, but nothing seemed to address this
particular problem. :-(

Anyone have any ideas what may be causing this?

For your info, this is what the system is running:

486 DX4/100
20 MB RAM
Red Hat Linux 5.2
Hylafax (latest version in RPM format for Red Hat).
Ghostscript 5.10
HP4L printer on /dev/lp1 (works correctly for normal printing).
Class 2 internal faxmodem (unsure of the brand).
