I have the following two problems:
1) for certain documents the transmission fails with [8:+FHNG:50] (or 52). So far it seems that this only happens with documents that were created using FrameMaker !!! Everything else worked fine.
If this is Frame 4.0 beware that it generates PostScript that forces the page dimensions to a full 8.5" wide. This translates to 1734 pixels which is invalid for fax transmission. The tiffg3* drivers in Ghostscript try to force a page width of 1728 pixels but only in the most versions does Ghostscript have support for constraining the page dimensions requested through the setpagedevice operator. I thought that gs 3.51 had this support but I must be wrong. In any event you can see if this is the problem by running Ghostscript over a Frame-generated PS document, then look at the resulting TIFF using something like the tiffinfo tool that is part of my TIFF software distribution (ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff). If the image width is 1734 pixels then this is the problem. Fixing the PS is a bit of a mess--you basically have to hand-edit the documents to eliminate or correct the setpagedevice calls. Either that or find a version of Ghostscript with the constrainted setpagedevice support.

As I said, whatever program you are using to generate PostScript is emitting PostScript that forces the page dimensions to be 1734 pixels wide. Look for my earlier posting about this topic for a discussion on what causes and how to deal with it.
