Ok, I put back the "t2:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty modem" in my
inittab and reboot. I sent a fax through whfc from my NT box, nothing
happened except it seems to be delivered to the fax server on linux. No
email message back to me. It seems it just sitting in the sendq on my linux
machine. The faxstat still reports "waiting modem to come ready". Any method
to rush the sending or "waiting modem to come ready" will make it wait
forever?

Thanks
