Yes, if all is correct configured, faxgetty from hylafax=20
will go transparently out of the way if you try to build
an internet-connection. it does not lock the modem device!

the locking behavior mentioned in newsgroups is true for many
other fax-packages but not for hylafax.....

have a nice day
