Re: [hylafax-users] faxgetty doesn't answer

["Hector S. Mendoza Ortiz" <hector@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes, faxaddmodem ran just fine.... another behaviour that I'm looking at is 
that either after 2 or 3 miss-received faxes (nothing sent, just answered) i 
lose the modem, or after several hours (more than 8 hours) of inactivity 
running faxgetty I also lose the modem, I will take a look at a possible 
inactivity shutdown of devices, but I don't have any of this configured on 
the system. I'm letting the modem sit without faxgetty running on it for 24 
hours and running again minicom to see if it's a power issue, I will report 
tomorrow on what happened on this.
