Kim, simply put: you're doing something wrong.

Faxgetty should be started in the Linux equivalent of /etc/ttytab (called
/etc/inittab, I believe?). That way, if it gets killed off, it will be
restarted properly on the fly.

Also: the PPP dial-out should be putting the modem into data mode.
For example, whenever dialing out, I always use "AT&F" to set the modem
into factory default mode so I know exactly what I'm working with, then
add any extra registers I need to set.

A lot of software and weird init strings rely on the modem being in
a particular state based on being the only software to use it. HylaFAX
doesn't have this problem, but other software (such as the init-strings
in your PPP configurations) often do.
