What is the most convenient way to get humming sending TeX
documents over a PC fax card?
I will use EmTeX to make a dvi -- and then what? Are there some
programs out there which'll take a .dvi and give me a bunch of
TIFF files, one per page? Most PC fax cards accept TIFFs.
Alternatively, going to PCX or something might work.
Yet another strategy would be to print dvi2hp using EmTeX's HP
driver and trap the bytes headed for the printer using a program
like HiJaak (which I don't have), HiJaak saves .PCX files as far
as I can recall.
What can you think of? Is it very hard hacking a dvi2tiff
program? How does one approach it? I'm very fluent hacking
turbo pascal, and know nothing about the .dvi file format, about
Knuths font formats and about the TIFF file format.

Just RTFM (read the f* manual); DVIMSP (supplied with the emTeX package can generate PCX files (use option /op). If yours can't, you have an old version. I'm using this successfully to produce fax documents; I have special fonts for that (about 200DPI, but not exactly).

Can you make the .fli files publicly available?
