Ghostscript isn't very convenient for faxing in this regard.  Faxing 
requires the usage of a fixed set of page widths while the page length 
can usually be arbitrary.  However, in Ghostscript the only way to get a 
fixed page width is to specify a page size... which includes page length.

I attempted to try to make things work with a new Ghostscript feature, see:

 http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=649

However, the Ghostscript development people have done nothing with the 
bug report and the provided patch, and my Ghostscript patch caused 
undesireable side-effects, and so I haven't used that Ghostscript patch 
in a while.

In any case, so long as HylaFAX uses Ghostscript to prepare PDFs into 
faxable TIFF, the issue here will need to be handled in Ghostscript.
