UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

It worked!!

FHS:00

I think these philips fax-machines are very wide-spread, because
I tried it on three fax-machines, and everywhere it didn't work
without page-length-adjustment. For one machine (a roll-paper!!!)
with length-adjustment it worked.

Thanks a lot for this idea!!!

Is it possible to put the page-length-adjustment into faxspool?
Or direct into sendfax?

Thanks again :-)))
