Add the following line to /etc/inittab:

S0:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty cua0

where you replace 'cua0' with your modem device.

Then do:

init q

to get init to re-read its config file. In /var/log/messages you should see:

Oct  2 13:38:09 hewes init: Re-reading inittab

and like magic, you should have a faxgetty running.
