Convert g3 faxes to ps/pdf

Hi All!

I am fiddling a bit with mgetty+sendfax, writing a program in Python as
front-end.

These programs send and receive their faxes as g3 format, which is fine for
that purpose. For viewing and storing I want them as ps or pdf file! (to
convert between those two is trivial with ps2pdf).

Any clue on how to convert from g3 to ps? (or where I could ask this
question)
I tried fax2ps (from libtiff-progs), doesn't work - complains that it does
not know the g3 file (is not a tiff file).

I don't mind to have to use a few steps - e.g. g3 --> tiff --> ps --> pdf.

Wouter.
