It's possible to do with fax (using pagelength = unlimited and page 
width = a4), but it's not possible to do with HylaFAX the way that 
things are with faxq.

Faxq prepares the image, both width and length.  There's not currently 
a "pagelength" indicator in the sendq file that indicates "unlimited 
length" pages, so faxq has to prepare the image with some fixed-length 
setting.

You may want to contact Frank Brock who made some changes to let 
mixed-pagelength TIFF images go through ps2fax, which basically tricked 
faxq into thinking the job was prepared when it really didn't do 
anything with pagelength.  This is generally okay, but if the receiver 
doesn't support unlimited page length, then it is a problem.
