kfax works well as you suggested. Also when I used the TIFF tools to
split the tiff, then gv would view it with appropriate aspect ratio. So
I think you are correctly writing the file. I was just using quirky
image apps.  

Now I just wish it was robust enough to work over my IAX connection
without problem. I'm sure it is the GSM compression that is biting it.
I'll run some more tests and then maybe I'll move it to a machine
located in the same rack as my phone gateway machine. At that time, it
shouldn't be a big deal for me to use G711 for the transport. I'm just
wary of putting it on my production switch at this moment.
