I tested it via ScanBizCards and Indeed OSD has no issues whatsover getting it right - there is 10 times the amount of text it needs and the image is very sharp, it's guaranteed to get it right. I am not familiar with the command-line tools however so I can't help, I'll just say that it should be very easy to write your own little utility making a call to DetectOS.
Another easy solution: why don't you run Tesseract twice, first on the original image then on the image rotated 180 degree? I assume you only need these two possibilities because it's a FAX hence page size is taller than it is wide. Then pick the one that yields the most sensible text and the least gibberish characters.
