That's why I've been unable to figure out what the problem was.

I did that and I still get only the top few cm. 
The log is appended below (at the bottom).

I wouldn't like that :-(

I've been looking at the config files and policy.h more closely and I'm
wondering: Would compiling in the FAX_USRobotics help ??

I tried sending to different fax device (a relatively old machine) and I
got this:

What does "RSPEC error" mean ??
