Modem does not support document page width

["Bernd Duerrer" <duerrer@aea.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>]

The HylaFAX software runs fine when ASCII-files are passed to sendfax, but
when using a postscript file, HylaFAX connects to the fax machine, but the
fax is not sent. In the log, there is the following message:

Apr 29 16:28:57 6D:goliath FaxSend[5213]: Modem does not support document
page width, max page width 1728 pixels, image width 1686 pixels

What does this message exactly mean: is it a problem of the sending modem
or of the receiving fax machine?

The problem only occurs, when passing postscript files on to sendfax. The
conversion is done with Ghostscript v4.03. When I convert the postscript
file manually to a TIFF file using Ghostscript with the same parameters
HylaFAX passes through the ps2fax.gs script, the resulting TIFF file can be
sent with sendfax.

Any hint for solving this problem is very much appreciated!
