I use GhostScript 3.30, the documents I'm faxing are processed by
enscript and html2ps and later by GhostScript. If I call enscript and
html2ps with the appropriate parameter to generate A4 pages, what kind
of media will GhostScript generate? (without any media-related
parameters).

And, for all of you, I've just encountered a Yanco NetSpeed ESV 33.6
(Rockwell based) and the same G3 file that USR can't send it sended
without any problem! Gert, put this modem on your modem-list, is a class
2 modem and needs to disable XON. I think that this modem are available
only on Brazilian market, but I think that this will help to increase
your modem list.

Best Regards.
