I don't think my patch was applied to it: putting a link shouldn't hurt
anything.

Hmm. Faxstat isn't showing the active modem? After installing faxgetty
in the "/etc/inittab", did you run a "kill -HUP 1" in order to
re-initialize it?

Yeah, I'm not sure what. You ran faxsetup, faxaddmodem, and used either
faxmodem or faxgetty to crank up the modem, and if you added faxgetty
re-started the init process or rebooted to re-scan the inittab: I'm curious
myself why it isn't working.
