Hi Frank!
Ok, first the truth, no phone line or fax where I live. Once in a while I
find them useful but e-mail gets me there 99% of the time.
I do have interest there for the 1% however and conversion problems seem to
facinate me.
I would be interested what Open Office Org reader does if you try to open a
fax file with it? Please let me know if you try.
Other than that google yeilds:

My guess is that conversion to a picture format (tiff) has trouble "getting
it all in there" when the document is long. Better to use a viewer if
possible espically if you can print directly from it (xfax above).
I hope this is helpful!
Good hunting!
Tod
