Initializing faxgetty errors
I have been trying to configure a server to act as a fax server but have been having some serous troubles getting the box to initialize the modem when starting up. I had the modem working once before but at the time turned it off and have not used it since. Since then I have used other kernels moved services around and even put a new Debian install on the box. I have recompiled the kernel with serial device support and now it recognizes the device but I can't figure out where and what to put into the init setup. I have included what is in my inittab file and some faxgetty output in my syslog.
I have purred over man pages, old posts, docs, kernel recompiling, basic trouble shooting and just trial and error figuring things out. I am setting up the modem for my wife to fax out resumes and need some input. Thank you
