locking config problem



I am definately missing something.

Using HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.0pl1 on Linux 2.0.29 i586

/etc/init.d/hylafax start .. starts the various fax proceses .. then
/etc/inittab which states:

S1:2345:respawn:/var/hylafax/sbin/faxgetty modem

communicates to the FaxQueuer (faxq) process through the
fifo that the modem is avaliable and it's capabilities:

May 20 18:30:48 holly FaxQueuer[27582]: MODEM modem: READY, capabilities P3fd5ffff:ff

Then a Job is submitted via 'sendfax' .. which causes faxq to eventually run
faxsend, which determines that the modem is wedged:

May 20 18:43:50 holly FaxQueuer[27582]: MODEM WEDGED: bin/wedged "modem" "/dev/modem"


After a few unsuccessful re-trieds, I commented out faxgetty in /etc/inittab
and suddenly faxsend is able to send a fax!

May 20 18:54:37 holly FaxGetty[27869]: CAUGHT SIGNAL 15

May 20 18:55:10 holly FaxQueuer[27582]: FIFO RECV "*2:c"


Obviously I am missing something here.  'preciate any suggestions!
