Once the modem is initialized HylaFAX won't know that the modem is 
unavailable in this scenario until it attempts a command and the command 
fails.  Furthermore, once the modem is turned on again it will not 
likely be initialized properly for fax.  Consequently, the next call 
will probably fail.

In HylaFAX+ (http://hylafax.sourceforge.net) there is a relatively new 
feature called "PollLockPokeModem" (that defaults to false) that can be 
enabled in the modem config file.  Enabling this will achieve the result 
that you are asking for.

Thanks,

Lee.
