    Hello HylaFAX users,
    
    I just installed HylaFAX 4.0pl1 on a SGI (IRIX 6.3) and encounterd
    following problem:
    
    Using GhostScript 3.33 from the FTP-Server I could fax PostScript-
    Documents easily. But there wer PS-files which caused problems with
    that release of GS, so I decided to use GS version 4.03.
    
    After that I'm unable to send _any_ PS-File. The conversion takes
    place, the modem contacts the remote fax-machine and the transmissions
    stops:

    Note the line with the __max.__ page width. That number is greater 
    than the current page width, but the transmission stops.  :-/
    
    Any ideas? Is there a bug in HylaFAX? Did I miss the solution in the
    mailing list?

please put the the PostScript and the resulting "docq/doc47.ps;01"
file to /pub/incoming on my well known (:-)) ftp-server;
