   | I've seen (and posted myself) some messages about using mgetty as a data
   | call handling program. By now, no one socceded in doing it, and so I
   | thought I should lesser my expectations, and use another (simpler) getty,
   | e.g. the agetty, which (at least) is able to get its input and output from
   | stdin/stdout, like I think it should get started from faxgetty. 
   | 
   | Now, the question is simple: did someone succeed in using another getty
   | with HylaFAX on Linux? If so, I think his experience could be of some use
   | to at least one reader... 

Yes I did. I using gettyps 2.0.7.x and Hylafax 4.1pl0 on a linux box. I can 
successfully receive and send faxes and receive data-calls. I cannot rember all 
the configuration parameters by head but if this is interestiong for someone, 
I'll take a look at the configuration (its already some months ago I configured 
this, and the linux machine is at home and not here at the university) and post 
the important stuff.
