Misunderstood here, my fault. Here, if a fax failled,
I modified notify.awk to attach the fax in the email
warning about the failure. The user don't needed
create or search for the document. Previously I use
postscript format but if you resend the fle you do
Postcrit->Postscript->Tiff. In the second step you
loose quality. With PDF that doesn't happen. But you
don't find a PDF print driver for windows so easy.

It's twice faster (so twice cheaper for long distance
calls), and 
Windows
draft mode is better than Ghostscript normal one :-)
