One possible method would be to convert to pbm format with ghostscript
and then rotate the pbm to the desired orientation.  A final conversion
to tif g3 will produce a file for faxing.

The ghostscript and netpbm tools will do the job.

However, the quality of the original may or may not be reduced by the
process.

There are many ways to achieve the overall conversion.  Consult the
gs and netpbm documentation.
