faxgetty, how do I do to spawn mgetty when I get a data call?

	Dear friends,
		(please, don't write you hate me!) I'm writing for a new
problem I got since I installed \hyla: from the FAQ, I see I'm not alone
in wishing to have AutoPPP answering to (some) data calls, and, since I do
some management from home, I like mgetty for its callback before login
feature too. I tried to set it up, but I didn't get adaptive answering to
work in a decent way: before trying \hyla\ as a fax server, I had mgetty
running on the modem, and the modem did the adaptive answer by itself (to
be fair, I had a very long struggle to receive faxes); now comes \hyla\:
it was able to receive the very first fax I sent it, but it's not willing
to leave me get in by a data call... If you care, here comes a session log
from the last call I attempted

To my ear discrimination, the modem did fax, even though I have a
config.ttyS2 containing the lines:

....
# $Id: rc288dpi,v 1.4 1996/06/24 02:58:38 sam Rel $
GettyArgs:		"-r -s %s %l"
ModemType:		Class2		# use class 1 interface
ModemRate:		38400		# locked for fax sending&receiving
ModemFlowControl:	rtscts		# default
#
ModemSetupAACmd:	AT+FAA=1	# enable adaptive-answer in Class 2
#
AdaptiveAnswer:		yes		# cosi' dovrebbe rispondermi
AnswerRotary:		"any"		# this should work!
....

Maybe someone could help me, and let us use mgetty as long as faxgetty
will not be able to let us do all of the modem handling through it.

Yours, faithfully (as allways)
