Yes, 

I was talking about receiving... After receiving teh job, hylafax put
the tiff file in /var/spool/fax/recvq and call faxrcvd.  The, this tiff
is in letter for the 2 pages, before any conversion if I have well
understand.  Is there a way to get all the second page?  To get 2 tiff
file or to shrink the legal page in a letter format?
