That's what I run. through init, with the "respawn" option.

No. What files would I need to edit to switch it to class 1?

Could call distinction (AT+FAA=1) be causing this problem? I'm not sure
how to disable it, I commented out the "ModemSetupAACmd:	AT+FAA=0"
command in config.cua1, but I'm not sure if it's been disabled.

I didn't really configure getty, HylaFAX just did it by itself. I am
aware that it is a security risk. But I don't know enough about HylaFAX
to disable it...

Yes. It was an urgent fax, so when HylaFAX kept failing I rebooted the
machine into NT4, and WinFax received it without any problems.


Thanks for your time,
