It's not the solution, but you don't need to reboot. comment the line and
use the comand:

# kill -HUP 1

It restarts init, re-reading the inittab file.

What Linux distribution do you use? (if you use linux, of course). If you
use RH 6.x, try to use linuxconf. It's easy to configure and easy to
connect (ifup pppx) / x E {0-n}.

I use it and I don't have problems to connect using faxgetty. But I don't
know the procedure to do this in any distribution. (yet)
