flexfax: Problems with getty

[Jakob Curdes <jc@info-systems.com>]

Hello fax friends, 

I have just switched my server from mgetty to hylafax.
The fax part is really neat; no more problems 
sending and receiving etc etc. 

Now I also wanted to enable data call-in; I had not 
done it before with mgetty either. And I run into
problems because the login process does not 
complete. I spent 2 nights tracing and trying...
now my hope lies in the members of this list. 

Here is what I have : 
linux 2.0.33
hylafax 4.0pl1
getty_ps (I believe it is 2.0.7h)
Modem is US robotics sportster flash.

When the modem is called with a data call,  I get

Feb  5 23:13:37 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: --> [4:RING]
Feb  5 23:13:47 insegni last message repeated 2 times
Feb  5 23:13:58 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: ANSWER: DATA CONNECTION
Feb  5 23:13:58 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: GETTY: START "/sbin/getty -h ttyS1 DT19
200 screen", pid 12498
Feb  5 23:14:59 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: GETTY: exit status 0
Feb  5 23:14:59 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: DELAY 2600 ms
Feb  5 23:15:02 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: <-- [17:ATE0V1Q0X4S0=0H0\r]
Feb  5 23:15:02 insegni FaxGetty[12489]: --> [2:OK]

etc.

The screen on the other computer shows weird characters. 
I tested the getty arguments standalone (entry in inittab)
and then it works, so I assume it is not getty itself 
but rather the communication between getty and faxgetty.
How can I get more information on what is going on between
these too? 


Any hints appreciated,

jc
