    Given that ImageMagick's display can display them, I'd bet that
    convert(1) can pull this off, at least with a bit of coaxing. The
    manpage shows an example for converting a postscript document into
    individual fax pages; I'd bet it would work just right if you just
    specified the multi-page tiff as the source file in place of the
    postscript:

    convert document.tiff fax:page

    (untested)

    good times,
