Wrong list.  Looks like you're using mgetty+sendfax... or at least faxgetty
is dishing this call off to mgetty.  In either case, this is an issue for
that package's support forum.

But, I'll bet that you configured mgetty to handle incoming data or voice
calls, and so somebody may be calling the wrong number, get your fax, and
consequently faxgetty dishes it off to mgetty because it looks like a data
call.  It's definately too slow of a CONNECT speed to be a reliable fax.
Look that it's connecting at 1200 baud.  Whee!
