flexfax: configure question - new setup

[Michael Blaustein <mblauste@CapAccess.org>]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure hylafx (4.0p12-1) on linux (2.0.34), and I'm 
sorry to say I'm having some basic difficulties that reading the manuals 
has not cleared up for me (because I'm new to linux and communications 
software?).  Please help if you are willing.

I start hfaxd, then faxgetty.

Faxgetty fails to setup teh modem.  The modem is set up correctly; 
minicom works fine.  What am I doing wrong?

Sorry this query is so vague.
