Hi Andy,

	Yes mgetty-voice is installed.  The Debian info indicates that the inittab 
entry should be:

s1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1

I've tried that as well as adding a few options such as speed, debugging, 
etc.  Also regardless of what settings I use in voice.conf it answers on 
the first or second ring as fax/data.

Thanks,
