Ramon;

	You were concerned about faxgetty not appearing to run.  I am wondering 
if that might be a clue.  I did some tweaking today and my system became 
unusable - with hundreds, maybe thousands, of instances of faxgetty 
running and nothing working.  As mentioned previously, I have nothing in 
my /etc/inittab (like S0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0).

	On reviewing 
http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Binary_Package_Install, I noted 
that it prescribed a /etc/event.d/ttyS0 file for my system (Ubuntu 
8.04).  So, I added it and presto, problems.  Deleted the file, 
restarted everything and operations returned to normal.

	With the event.d file in place, HylaFAX could not even find the port 
never mind the modem.  Incoming on my fax number went unanswered. 
Outgoing failed, of course, but did not trigger an e-mail to me.

	minicom indicated my modem was happy throughout.

Regards,
	Dennis
