Hi Guy, thanks for the reply,

'rpm -qa | grep mime' brings up no result...

So I downloaded/installed the package and its working now...many thanks
for that suggestion :)

However, that only solves half my problem, the fax is still badly
corrupted. The following is from the log file :

What causes the 'bad rows', and how can I lower the bitrate to see if
this is going to solve my problem.

Half of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.
