    Thanks for the info. egetty is nothing, it does not exist at all. The 
    only meaning of the string egetty is that if EGettyArgs is defined as 
    a non nul string and AnswerRotary is set to "extern". Hylafax will 
    call a program /bin/egetty. If that program does not exist...
    
    It is the user/system developer's responsibility to write that 
    program. This program's job is to answer the incoming call, determine 
    its type and then exit with a CALLTYPE_XXX (FAX, DATA, DONE, ERROR, 
    VOICE) code. Hylafax will then proceed as if it itself would have 
    determined the type of call.
    
    The issue I have is that when I do this I get a modem write error 
    after calling the sys::write(fd,......   call and as I don't fully 
    understand the inheritance rules that Sam applies and neither have I 
    been able to understand the Dispatch class. I am at a loss in trying 
    to guess what is going wrong.
    
    This is why I am looking for any working example for simple and bare 
    bones it is.
    
    Thanks for your help,

    Note: I hope this clarifies what egetty is.

Try this small example. It works for me (don't blame me about
this C-code, it's not the way I'm writing real code :-))
It works for me and faxgetty(1M) receives the fax fine (see the log).

/* change this define to the real device on your system */
#define LINE "/dev/ttyFN02" 
main()
{
	int fd;
	fd = open(LINE, 2);
	if(fd < 0)
		exit(0);
	write(fd, "ATA\r", 4);   /* time to pick up the call */
	close(fd);
	exit(2);
}

it gives the following session log:
