I also have a problem with faxgetty and Linux 2.0:
I am not sure if my problem is near to the problem above, but perhaps
anyone has a clue...
Whenever a voice-phonecall comes to my modem by mistake, faxgetty forks
an "agetty" process that never dies although my modem does a hangup
after recognizing that there is no carrier. Therefore my modem is
blocked
whenever a voice-call gets to my Faxserver.
