Text files translated by the gnu enscript, if you are talking about page
width, I can read on enscript exit:

gs_languagelevel 1 gt {
  <<
    /PageSize [612 792]
  >> setpage device
}             I think that this is the PostScript points unit.

I don't know if this is right, if aren't, tell me!

Ok, GhostScript problem with page width, I don't know the conversion to
make PS points into milimeters. (as seen above).

Where I live is very difficult to buy class 2 or 2.0 modems, I can found
only USR Sportsters on local stores, all others are class 1. And, can
you tell me what are class 1.0 (I just tried another modem, and
"AT+FCLASS=?" returned: "0,1,1.0")?
