As a wellknown sailor would say now: "Blow me down!"

That was the trick! I don't know how, but it finally works. :-)

The strange thing is that the file /var/spool/fax/etc/config looks like
this now:

LogFacility:            daemon
CountryCode:            49
AreaCode:               5251
LongDistancePrefix:     0
InternationalPrefix:    00
DialStringRules:        etc/dialrules
ServerTracing:          1
# ModemClass:		1

As you can see, there is (and there was before) a ":" exactly where it
should be. But after I commented out this line everything works.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Another question:

When the server sends a fax I get the following message:

   May  6 15:06:00 gateway FaxGetty[198]: ANSWER: Can not lock modem device

Nevertheless the faxes are send correctly. Is this an error I need to
worry about or can I safely ignore this message? What do I have to do to
get rid of this message?
