I used the hplj-3.prn file, selected Swiss and Dutch fonts in separate
attempts; didn't fiddle with the FXPRINT driver. With the LPT3 printer
loaded, typed the file; it went to the fax and sent properly, but the resolution
was less than great. Usable, but not as sharp as a DeScribe-generated fax.

I actually sent the faxes to my own number, aborted on the busy signal,
printed out the results from the log.
