I told, I had set the timeout to 60000, but I forgot to set

From my earlier analysis, I believe that faxgetty is looping in ModemServer::getModemLine() for the modem to respond with +FPS. The modem never does respond with +FPS, however (so a Class 2 firmware bug is triggering a HylaFAX problem here). ModemPageDoneTimeout is supposed to control how long faxgetty waits in getModemLine(), but ModemPageDoneTimeout doesn't seem to be working - so we loop forever waiting for +FPS.

ModemPageDoneTimeout is, by default, exceptionally large, 180000. I don't know if that has some factor on this (perhaps because it exceeds a 16-bit integer size), so that's why I've asked them to test with ModemPageDoneTimeout set to 60000.

Lee.
