flexfax: modem initialization

["William A. Villanueva" <wav@pacific.wave.com.ph>]

I'm still working on how to get my modem to work with hylafax.

When I issue the command faxstat, I get the:  Waiting for modem to come
ready

And that takes about forever.  Which program can I check into this or what
command can I issue to make the modem respond?

Thanks very much.
