Are your jobs always finished when you turn down your modems? I remember
seeing (and changing in my local copy) HylaFAX setting a modem to ready
everytime it finishes a job (because it doesn't know if you are using
faxgetty and if not, nothing else will set the modem to ready) thus making
such a setup not working for me. I couldn't set a modem down until all jobs
were finished. And I believe if the modem is used to receive jobs, it will
also turn back on after successfully receiving a job and send all waiting
jobs before it could be turned off again (which would be done automatically
if faxgetty is used). 

This is all from memory, and I may have remembered things wrong.
