   Don't do that.  Run it once as a an rc.local or chkconfig service.  
If you want to make sure its up and running at all times, just run a 
cron that checks for a pid and relauches as required.  
"/usr/sbin/iaxmodem" starts the process which launches 1 TTYIAX per 
config... and so this is firing at minimum every five minutes.  Which is 
what causes your problem.
