The pages are actually created by ghostscript (ie a 2 pg fax is putting 
3 pages in the spool dir). I am using a ghostscript 5.03 rpm that I got from
redhat and recompiled for glibc (redhat 5.0). I made no configuration 
changes. The postscript files are created by gawk. 
If I send it to the printer using ghostscript all is ok. What is the 
difference between using the dfaxhi/lo and the faxg3 drivers? I am 
using the faxg3 drivers ( I do not appear to have the dfaxhi/lo
drivers compiled in. I do appear to have faxg32d and fax g4. Are these of 
any use?) I have also tried with and without a fax header no change. 
Since the files print to the printer just fine I _think_ the postscript files 
are ok, so I guess I have a gs problem? 
The problem is I am not sure where to start. I guess I will 
have to see what kind of configuration can be done with ghostscript. 


Any suggestions?
