Convert g3 faxes to ps/pdf

[Wouter van Marle]

Marius,

I have fax2pdf installed - this does not do the job as it does not recognise
g3 fax files. Sourceforge is indeed a good tool, I checked that as well.
Google gives in these cases so many results that it takes too long to find
the right one (and the options you found don't even work).
Better ask the experts right away :)

Wouter.
