Hi,
I have recently installed HylaFax 3.0.1 on my FreeBSD 2.1 system. Sending faxs works OK,
but
receiving doesn't. Modem answers and the file is received and appears in the recvq
directory, but the mail message I received says the file cannot be opened.

Running fax2ps manually shows the following message...
/var/spool/fax/recvq/fax000162: Can not open, or not a TIFF file. 

but file shows...
/var/spool/fax/recvq/fax000162: TIFF file, little-endian version 42

tiffinfo shows the following warning...
/var/spool/fax/recvq/fax000162: Warning, incorrect count for field "StripOffsets
" (1, expecting 0); tag ignored.  

I am now stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Marc
