Yes.

Faxing knows about normal and fine resolution.  The fine resolution has
twice the rows per inch as the normal resolution.  So the normal
resolution has to be `stretched' (duplicate each row) to make up the
original paper size.  Use the `stretch' option for g3topbm on fn* files
(ff* files are of fine resolution).
