Only when using buggy Ghostscript. AFAIK Sam Leffler originally used other
Postscript rasterizer (by SGI) which did not append that wrong extra
RTC. And all Class2 modems he tested worked for him. Ask also Harald
Pollack -- he does not append RTC in his fax program, and all
Class2/Class2.0 modems still work (except USR which is the special
case). What else proof do you need?

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
