Sad, but it seems to be true. :-(

Do you or does any one else have some older source of code I could try?
It is somehow hard to come by. If I could get some version before 1.2 or
even earlier, I could try to compile it.

How can I test this? As I mentioned before, I checked the tiff and the
ps file and both are complete. Is there any other file I should check as
well?

That sounds like an interesting project for my next vacation. ;-)

Well, to be sure, the tag line isn't even on the pages' top, it's in the
middle of the empty pages.

To make it even more suspicious: I met someone on the net, who has the
same problem, even though he uses a totally different Linux
distribution. But when we two exchange faxes, ever page is complete.
Inspecting the log files I discovered that the difference lies in the
speed: faxes between our two stations are exchanged at 9600 baud, while
faxes to other stations are sent at a much higher rate.

I guess there's no way of telling capi4hylafax to always use the lower
rate, is there?
