I'd really like to know the answer to that as well -- I had a rather bizarre incident the other day in which a colleague wanted to fax the drawn outline of his foot to a specialist bootmaker in Poland.

As just a few mils either way could make all the difference to an item of footwear, I advised him not to -- who knows what actual size it's going to come out the other end?

Presumably faxes have some kind of handshaking process where they try and establish what DPI they can both safely use? And what's the margin of error allowed in the standard?
