problem with inbound data calls




I'm using Hylafax v4.0pl1 on Linux Redhat distribution 4.0 with gcc 
2.7.2; USROBOTICS SPORTSTER 28800 V.34 modem.

We previously had Linux Redhat 2.0 and an older version of Hylafax 
installed and working properly, but then we upgraded to Redhat 4.0.  
Thus, I had to download and rebuild Hylafax after upgrading to 4.0.

Since rebuilding and reinstalling Hylafax, I haven't been able to get 
FaxGetty to handle inbound data calls correctly.  Everytime I try to 
make a connection, I am originally connected, but then the line hangs 
up soon afterwards.  Here's what the session usually looks like:

CONNECTED 38400 CAA

NO CARRIER

Here's what showing up in the log files:

In the first example, it looks as if getty is having problems 
finding ttyS2.  I've tried changing the GettyArgs configuration a 
number of times, but nothing has worked.  Here's what I currently 
have:

------(from /var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS2)
GettyArgs:              "-h -- - %s"

------(end)

Also, I'm not quite sure about my entry in inittab.  Here's what I 
have:

-------(begin /etc/inittab)

t2:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS2

----------(end)

Anyone have any ideas as to the solution to my problem, or additional 
sources I can investigate?

Thanks very much for any help you can offer.
