Thanks a lot for your info.

I understand from the "info mgetty" that faxes are in G3 format when saved
in the /var/spool/fax/incoming/

I would like to view them on a Win-doze machine using some Win program.
Do you know how I can do that.

My system is networked with Linux and all others using Win98

I could get it onto their machine either by mailing it to them
as an attachment - put them on the public samba partition or something 
like that.
The conversion from G3 format to Win Fax format is what I like to know.

I have tried to simply rename them to .fax or .tiff as they might be able 
to read the format but that does not work.

Gary mentioned that they are usually in .tiff format, but it looks like 
mgetty is generating another format.

I use mgetty to answer all my modems and I am quite happy with that 
program. It has a very useful info file system.
I only could not find anything about  Linux=>win

Thanks you for your help
