Just a quick question - what do you use to view incoming faxes? xv wants to allocate an 8 bit/pixel bitmap, and takes forever to display an image on my linux box. It also doesn't seem to be able to display anything other than the first page (not that I've looked real hard). I had a look through the archives, and found xtiff. It loads faster, and I hacked it to display lowres faxes in the right aspect ratio, but it doesn't have a page preview mode (ie, you can only see a small part of the page at any one time), and it periodically dumps core in XCreateImage(). What other choices are available?
Many people use the fax2ps or tiff2ps programs together with GNU ghostview; e.g.
fax2ps /var/spool/fax/recvq/faxVAAa0051G | ghostview
There is also faxview, an unfinished, but usable, X-based viewer in the contributed software area on sgi.com
