No, I used version 4.0pl2-2, the binary build. I didn't want to use a beta
version since this is quite a critical system to us. And faxaddmodem
detected my modem and used a prototype config template (Rockwell)

It only concerned timeouts ('sleep 2' instead of 'sleep 1'). And
incidentally the original version also worked well. But I'll send my
findings to the devel-list, even though I used an older version.

I tried different configs but nothing worked. So I moved the old modem to
the new server and we were in business! So for the time being we will work
with the old modem, but since we don't have a replacement in case of
hardware failure, I'll try to work out something to get the new modem
working. If I succeed, I'll notify the devel-list.
