Re: [hylafax-users] how is vgetty implemented these days?

It sounds like (from a later post) that you got everything working.  But 
I'm responding to answer the questions that you posed here... if for 
nothing more than for archival value.

I don't know to which locking patch you refer, but I would suggest that 
you use vgetty to handle voice calls.

To the best of my knowledge all of George's HylaFAX code work has been 
integrated for quite some time.

No, not currently.  However, it would be a rather easy modification.  
(In theory a voice-capable modem could be used for fax even if it did 
not support any fax Class - simply by additionally using a software 
DSP... I've pondered occassionally about how fun it may be to write a 
"Class8" fax driver for HylaFAX (which would require spandsp)... but 
there's really no reason for it, yet, I don't think.)

This could be done, I suppose.  As you've got it working now you could 
probably answer this question better than I.
