	I did a variety of things.  My FIFO looked just like yours.  I'd
	stopped and restarted things to no avail.  Re-added the modem via
	faxaddmodem, and so forth - still no luck.

	Turns out that its fixable by re-running faxsetup. This also gets
	the new binary to work correctly. Just drop in the binary and
	run faxsetup - it works fine. I guess I was too out-of-it this
	AM to think of that.

	Looks like the DATA problem is resolved, as you might expect.
	Thanks for the help, the new version, and for your suggestions.
