| What about:
|  	sendfax -m -n -d 19995551234 page1.tif page2.tif page3.tif

Aha.  That fails in the same way.

Yes.

If I drop the '-m' option, I do not get blanks, but the quality of the
received pages is poor.

If I regenerate my pageN.tif files as pageN.ps, that works.

But why do the -m transmissions fail to "normal" machines but succeed to
faxgetty?
