Well the question is what  does the fax gateway support in terms of page
break? What fax gateway are you using. \f  does insert a form feed
character, but how the fax gateway interprets it is the issue..

So the question is what fax gateway are you using, and how do you tell that
fax gateway to do a form feed. If your gateway does not support any explicit
form of form feed, Maybe you can make the fax body an email attachment to
achieve the result you want.

If you really care about the formatting of the fax, and your gateway will
print attachments, consider TCPDF. This class generates PDFs, which
naturally give you more control over the output of the document. This will
alse save paper during test cycles, since you can jsut generate the PDF and
email it to yourself, and be fairly confidant that the fax output will be
the same as what you see in acrobat reader.
