OK johan, it works thanx.
I ran    fax m XXXXX.ps
It created a TIFF  File.
Then I faxed it.

But I'am using Ksendfax as GUI.
And I use the following settings to send a fax (in Ksendfax):
fax send "@@Phone" "@@FName"
This works just fine.
But you told me it can be done automatically.
Now I have to run fax m  manually before sending a fax.
Do you know the command to do it all in one.
I mean a command I can use in Ksendfax, so I don't have
to run fax m, anymore.
