Current CVS is known to compile on Solaris.  You may want to check it out.

not that it matters, but there are significant improvements between this
and the current libtiff-3.5.5 version.  You may also want to upgrade it.

Does it ever say "idle"?  Some of the newer USR modems use a slightly
different AT identification string than the older ones did.  Current CVS of
faxaddmodem will automatically detect these new strings, but if you're
using a non-CVS version of HylaFAX (for the time being), then you'll need
to carefully prepare your config file.  Also, are you running faxgetty?  If
not, then the faxstat message is not entirely relevant as I am describing
it here.

Make sure you run faxsetup and faxaddmodem.

Correct.
