Absolutely!  Mimeconverters was replace with the typerules system that
the rest of the HylaFAX clients use.

In the default typerules file that comes with HylaFAX, you'll find a
line something like:
	>15     string          ascii           ps      textfmt -B -f Courier-Bold\
							-Ml=0.4in -p 11 -s %s %o <%i

Simply change that to:
	>15     string          ascii           ps	/path/to/my/script < %i > %o

Using any of the "%" escapes available (listed in the default typerules
file), to know what page size, length, resolution, etc the fax is trying
to be submitted as.
