I'm trying to use efax to receive and print faxes.  Unfortunately, the
efix fax to postscript filter doesn't work -- at all.  It produces
output which crashes ghostscript 5.10.  I've also tried the fax2ps
filter from the tifflib package.  It produces useable output, but with
some problems.  When I tell it to use the height and width of A4 paper,
it produces output which previews OK on gv with an a4 paper size -- but
when I print it, the bottom couple of lines get truncated.  The fax
fits well within my printer's printable area, but somewhere along the
line the bottom lines have been trimmed out.
