What is the norm for errors per page in Fax reception? I rarely see
fewer than 5 bad scan lines per page, and often substantially more.
The same telephone line seems to do fine for data modems, even high
speed ones (V.32, PEP).

Our fax hardware is a Digitan board for a PC, and I'm talking about
errors that show in the G3 output file, not added in any later step.

Its a very low cost board, and I wonder if maybe its just subpar in
doing the job.
