Got that line in /etc/inittab with your modem == ttyS0

If I kill faxgetty it immediately respawns

I get the following output:

ps ax | grep fax
 4260 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxq
 4262 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i hylafax
 4361 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
 5864 pts/5    R+     0:00 grep fax

Still faxstat reports: 
$ faxstat
HylaFAX scheduler on localhost.localdomain: Running
Modem ttyS0 (1.301.330.5467): Waiting for modem to come free

HylaFAX just will not recognize that the modem is free????

I have tried the faxstate, faxmodem commands, nothing is changed.

Thanks,
Terry
