I added this line as it was on a Debian page about starting mgetty

# FaxGetty Entry
t0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
This appears to be set up by faxsetup.

How do I start faxmodem? Is there anything wrong with either the mgetty or the faxgetty entries?


You can't run mgetty and faxgetty simultaneously on ttyS1.


Furthermore your faxgetty entry will only be active in runlevels 2 and 3.

You probably don't want to be running mgetty. So remove it, and then change "23" to "2345" for the faxgetty entry.

Then 'init q'.
