[Asterisk-Users] Blank faxes with RxFAX

Interesting, the size for the tiff files are:
1728x76 file size 1839 bytes
1728x159 file size 4605 bytes
1728x61 file size 1417 bytes
1728x77 file size 2071 bytes

on 4 different files originating from the same fax.  The image area is
all white with a few dots at the top and when I change the image size,
it looks like a bar code.

Any thoughts?
