flexfax: Modem hanging while receiving fax

[moeller.heinemann@t-online.de (Michael Mller)]

Hi,
i've got a little problem with one faxmachine. Sending to this one
is o.k., but sometimes it hangs while receiving fax.

Here ist the log :

       ^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is not ok. I killed faxgetty for this modem by hand because
faxstat -r says that it is still receiving the fax since 11 o'clock.

Any Hints ?

Hylafax 4.0pl2 - SuSE Linux 5.0 / Kernel 2.0.33
Modem : ELSA Microlink 33.6 TQV

BTW: Sometimes I have troubles with the modem state after sending
faxes. faxstat tells me that it is "waiting for the modem to come
ready" until I send the next fax. I "fixed" this with a little
script that kills the faxgetty process when this problem
occurs for more than 5 min. I've tried several modems and
used the rpm-packages shipped with SuSE5.2 and built the
package from source - same problem. On a second system
i use the same software, the same modems, no problem.
(Both systems have different motherboards, the one with
the 16450 is ok, the other one with 16550A is not o.k.)
What have i missed or is the workaround with the script ok.
(Any problems to expect ?)
