Tim:

 I appreciate the thought.  The instructions to get the getty from the
5.0.2 CD were contained in the binary distribution documentation.  I
did follow those instructions.  I'm assuming that the correct getty
gets started since it is assigned a PID.

 If you have any further suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
By the way, the HylaFAX documentation suggests that you can use
AnswerRotary as an alternative to Adaptive Answer.  Do you think that
I should go ahead and set up Adaptive Answer?  If so, what parameters
would you suggest that I use?

Thanx for your help,
