Another user recently reported this same problem.  You can avoid the 
problem by running faxgetty instead of faxmodem.

As for resolving why faxmodem is needing to be re-run... are you 
restarting faxq at all?  faxmodem will need to be re-run every time you 
restart faxq.

If you're not restarting faxq, then you'd want to bump the ServerTracing 
in your etc/config file to 0xFFF, restart faxq (and run faxmodem), and 
when it gives you trouble next then grep out the FaxQueuer log entries 
from your syslog and send them here.  They may give us a clue.

Thanks,

Lee.
