 Is there any way to translate a postscript file into a  standard fax format ?
 I would like to transmit fax messages by using an internal fax/modem board
 on a msdos computer. Messages are composed in LaTeX, converted into postscript
 by dvips, and may include graphics (e.g., EPS files, via psfig or epsf     
 packages).
 At present, the only way I figured out is to use ghostscript to translate the
 postscript file into PCX, which is one of the formats my fax software 
 recognizes (others are TIFF and IMG, aparts form ASCII).
 I understand that ghostscript should be able to drive fax devices, but 
 this feature seems to be lacked by the MSDOS version. 
 Any hint is greatly appreciated.
