All faxing is standardized on portrait page orientation.  So if you 
*really* want to send a letter page (21.59 X 27.94 cm portrait 
oriented) in landscape orientation (27.94 X 21.59 cm) then you need to 
specify a "page size" that matches that horizontal width (27.94 cm).  
B4 is 25.01 cm and A3 is 29.70 cm horizontally.  So, I would guess that 
you'd need to specify 'sendfax -s a3' in order to send that letter page 
in landscape orientation.

That said, you probably really don't want to actually send anything in 
landscape orientation, and the better thing to do would be to put the 
page into portrait orientation before submitting it.  I suspect that 
you'll need to specify page-orientation and page-size parameters to 
that convert command.
