problem with incoming g3 files

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

hiya!

problem: we have some costumers with older faxmachines. when they send faxes
to us, mgetty gets all pages with no error and stores them successfully.
but, when i try to convert those .g3 files to, for example .tif, this tif
will be only full of garbage. if i do g3cat to those .g3 files, a lot of
'bad code word' errors displayed and ~100k file will be reduced to ~9k file.
as i mentioned, that problem occurs only with 2-3 costumers but it's very
disturbing because they think fax transmission was successful and assume
that we got their faxes.

details:

op.system: S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3, no additional / weird stuff
