When the modem is not answering calls you should be able to minicom to 
that modem (before/without restarting faxgetty) and watch RING 
messages.  Is this correct?  After exiting minicom faxgetty should 
reinitialize the modem and it should also respond to the RINGs.

What I'm trying to determine here is if the problem is with the modem 
not reporting RINGs or if faxgetty has, indeed, hung.

If you don't see RING messages in minicom then the problem is with the 
modem itself and not HylaFAX.

We had a report last week that some of the code could theoretically 
cause faxgetty to hang as a child faxgetty process exited.  The reporter 
admitted that they never were able to make the hang occur in anything 
other than a contrived scenario, and to my knowledge you're the only one 
reporting this matter, so I don't know how likely this could be your 
problem... however, the fix to that matter can be found in HylaFAX+ 4.3.0.8.
