incomplete faxes

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I now found out, the problem for transmitting incomplete faxes was NOT
sendfax but the following line in my script calling sendfax:

/bin/cat ./$faxfile | /usr/bin/sed 's/^/     /g' > ./$faxfile
/usr/bin/pbmtext -font ./cour25.pbm <./$faxfile |/usr/bin/pbm2g3 >
  ./$faxfile.g3
/usr/sbin/sendfax $faxnr ./$faxfile.g3

The sed command disrupts/cripples some longer textfiles (probably because
its input and output file were chosen to be the same ?)

Sorry for my putting the blame on sendfax and thanks very much for your
help ...
(By the way: I tried several times to send the requested g3 file as an
attachement to gert@greenie..., but this wasn't possible - and is now no
longer necessary - due to restrictions of mail size by the mail receiver.)
