Those parameters are only important if faxgetty has to hand data calls
off to a data getty.   If you have set the faxgetty as 'respawn' in the
inittab, then the only reason I could think of that it wouldn't work
(other than that maybe you set it to talk to the wrong port) would be
if you simply forgot to tell inittab to re-read it's table: telinit q
will do that.

Do you ever see the data lights flicker as the getty tries to reset the
modem?
