Hello Arne, 

thanks. But I´ve started with respawn:

     mo:23:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1

And killing faxgetty with kill -9  revokes a new
faxgetty process. faxgetty  is invincible!

I think the best way with less extravagance is to 
comment out the line in /etc/inittab. 
Every time I use fax (once a week) I 
comment it in again and call "telinit q".
initab is read again - and fagetty works. 
After I comment in out and start telinit q
again. 

bye
