Re: flexfax: Using mgetty and faxgetty simultaneously

[Damian A Ivereigh <damian@cisco.com>]

I haven't done this, but you should able to have faxgetty call mgetty when a data call
comes in. You should be able to encode the path to mgetty and its options into the config.
However someone pointed out there may be a bug and you have to set it when you compile
hylafax.
