I am using the RPM getty_ps-2.0.7h-3 on a RedHat 4.0 distribution.
The Linux kernel is version 2.0.18.  And I'm using /dev/cua1.

I have HylaFAX 4.0pl1 running with: 
GettyArgs:              "-h %l F%s"

And the entry in /etc/gettydefs:
F38400# B38400 CS8 # B38400 SANE -ISTRIP HUPCL #@S login: #F38400

What do you mean by "automatic" ppp?  If you mean locking the modem
so that they can share then you just have to configure pppd to create a
lock file (use the "lock" option).  And configure HylaFAX to use the
same locking method (usually /var/lock/... w/ an ASCII lock file).
