Use a perl script to substitute the pcl commands for 16.6 and 10 with
enscript escape sequences.
ie:
^@font{CourierBold@11.85}  80cars/row (10cpi)
^@font{CourierBold@6.97/11} 136cars/row

We use a constant (in this case 948), which we divide by 96, 80, 136 to get
the enscript font@<number> so that all characters pitch are proportionally
changed by changing the constant.

Then feed the file to enscript and get ps to send to HylaFAX.
