Yes. Actually, support for these features really depends on your destination pool. Pools of older or perhaps cheaper fax machines will almost always support fewer features than pools of newer, more expensive ones.


I am just wondering what would happen if I used ghostscript
to prepare a hyperfine TIFF file (408x392) and then sent
this file to a machine that was capable of only receiving
fine (204x196).

HylaFAX would hang up, reformat, and then call again with an appropriate format. However, HylaFAX faxq will not normally prepare a hyperfine document to be sent to a destination unless it knows that the destination supports it.


Would HylaFAX simply just transmit every
other line of the file to accomodate the other machine?

This would be a type of on-the-fly resolution conversion, and HylaFAX doesn't do that. Shrinking images and keeping them looking good can be tricky... so we leave that up to Ghostscript, since they're the imaging experts.


Or would the transmission abort with an error?

It would abort and then retry.
