Ok, so I had to connect this good old 3M EMT9145-flagship back on line and...
wow...the fax has been received with NO errors in it! Amazing...seems that
these
Philips guys are producing kinda hickup-faxmachines.

That did not make it for me. The fax is still corrupted on the
Philips-machine...sorry.

...and here is the "-v" diagnostic output of my senior-aged g3view:

<file>.g3
height = 2386
width = 1728
resolution = fine
Line 2385: bad RTC (7 EOLs) ??????
memused = 515376

Have a nice day
Christian.
