Ramon;

	I think I do but I do not use it.  I stick with external modems - life 
is just better that way.  I use an AOpen FM56EXV.  I have two or three 
of them around here somewhere.

	Yes, I can now see faxgetty running when I execute ps -A.  Maybe 
faxgetty runs  as user faxmaster so without this user, faxgetty cannot run.

	Can you get your modem to work with any other apps - wdial, for 
example.  I mention wvdial because its auto configuration script WILL 
find a serviceable modem if one exists on your system.

	I think if I were you I would completely remove everything HylaFAX. 
Then I would get the modem working with something else - like wvdial. 
That way you know that the modem will work.  Then, given all the wisdom 
collected through the trials and tribulations to date, set out to 
install and configure HylaFAX from scratch.  There is something 
fundamentally wrong with your setup.  Could  be the missing faxmaster 
user.  Could be who knows what.

Regards,
	Dennis
