No very basic difference.  Mainly the page format issue remains - tpc.int
wants ASCII or Postscript, the mgetty fax queue has ready-made G3 instead
of the original documents.

So I still think something in faxspool's place might be more useful - why
spool it locally if you can directly put it into the mailer queue?
