	Let's take a look, shall we? Remember that the sendfax command
is sensitive to the order of commands.

	sendfax \
		-f "From: George Zeigler      Phone: +7 095 944-1415      email: genz1968@mtu-net.ru" \
		-t 2 \
		-m \
		-n \
		-s a4 \
		-D \
		-d 258-0635 \
		/usr/home/george/Office51/work/trash.ps     

Looking at the order of arguments in the manual page, the order of
your arguments is completely gonzo. I realize that sendfax should
perhaps be more insensitive to this, but it's a real pain to rewrite,
and I am *NOT* volunteering....
