Well here it is. This configuration is working very well for me. I can send and 
receive fax and receive data (login) calls. Hope I did not forget anything 
important:


I use gettps 2.0.7d on a Linux system running Kernel 2.0.25.
I compiled hylafax and gettyps myself using gcc 2.7.2.1.

I had to chang getty-ps a very little bit in order to support higher speed
arguments (in main.h I added some lines for the speeds 57600 and
115200) cause I use a 28800 modem and wanted to run it at highest
possible speed for login sessions.


Config. modem (in /var/spool/fax/etc) :
---------------------------------------
ModemType:              Class2.0        
ModemRate:              115200          
ModemFlowControl:       rtscts          
GettyArgs:              "-D011 -d /etc/default/getty.cua1.init modem %s vt100"
  
modem is the name of my serial device in /dev a link to /dev/cua1. 
I remember that I had to configure getty in debug-mode or else it would
not work (getty was started but hung up the line right away. Turning
debuggin on it works.  Because in between my linux installation is newer
this  might be obsolete).

The file /etc/default/getty.cua1.init:
--------------------------------------
CLEAR=NO
HANGUP=NO
TIMEOUT=60
INIT=CONNECT \p


The file /etc/gettydefs contains the following lines:
-----------------------------------------------------
115200# B115200 CS8 CRTSCTS # B115200 SANE CS8 -PARENB -CSTOPB -ISTRIP CRTSCTS #

38400# B38400 CS8 CRTSCTS # B38400 SANE CS8 -PARENB -CSTOPB -ISTRIP CRTSCTS #@S 
login: #38400


Hope it helps
