flexfax: faxgetty dial-in hangs and times out on Linux 2.0.30

[Bob Worthy <bworthy@worthy.com>]

I've just installed HylaFAX 4.0pl2 for use as occasional fax out on
Linux 2.0.30 (Slackware).  Installed smooth, works very nicely.  Modem
is a super cheap ($25) CREATIVE Rockwell chip external that was handy
when the USR Sportster 33.6 proved to be wholly inadequate.

Faxing out (via sendfax) works fine, can be scheduled with cron with
faxq and faxgetty running.

Dial-in to the modem with regular getty or uugetty also works fine.

Dial-in with faxgetty does NOT work.  The modem answers and there is
never any login prompt.  Something times out after about a minute and
drops carrier.  I've looked for a sample getty.ttyC0, which is where I
think the problem must be, but haven't seen one.

If i eliminate the WAITFOR and CONNECT entries from getty.ttyC0, it
hangs up immediately after connect. I have included the
ModemWaitForConnect:	Yes
line in config.ttyC0 as suggested in other posts.

The config.ttyC0, getty.ttyC0, dial-up remote screen, and the relevant
bit of /var/log/messages is included below.

I'd appreciate any help.

# Configuration for a Rockwell-based modem not otherwise handled by

#
# This configuration file sets up the modem to run at 38.4 with
# RTS/CTS flow control used by default.  XON/XOFF is automatically
# enabled for fax recv.  Beware of modems that also lock sending
# to 19.2; add ModemSendBeginCmd: "<19200>" if this is required.
# Also beware that the adaptive-answer facility, when supported,
# is often unreliable.
