PPP and HylaFAX



hello,
I am trying to get hylafax to accept incoming ppp connections.
I am using ver 4.0 on freebsd. I do not use hylfax for incoming faxes so

I have set AnswerRotary: "extern" so that the VGettyArgs should be
passed to whatever I have linked to egetty which is mgetty and start a
ppp connection.
so..
AnswerRotary: "extern"
egetty is linked to mgetty
VGettyArgs: "-r -s %s -"   and I tried "-r -s %s %l"   same effect.
the problem is, the modem answers but then just beeps about evey 5
seconds..
like it is waiting for something...

How do I tell what is going on with the spawing of the program with the
egetty hook?

I have looked though the archives and the faq .. there are some
references but none seem to deal with this situation.

thanks in advance for any suggestions or hints...
please email direct as I am not currently subscribed to the list..
thanks
Robert
