flexfax: Modem Freezes Line Open at ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION

[Jeff Hill <jhill@hronline.com>]

With Debian Hylafax package 4.0.2-12 running on Linux kernel
2.0.36, I've gotten everything set up, but can't get the modem
to get past the "ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION". It'll answer and
then just freeze with the line open, never going any further,
never dropping the line.

I've tried setups with both a Sportster 33.6 Voice and a
SupraFax14.4 V.32bis and they've both frozen the line open at
exactly this same spot in the log, so I don't believe it's a
particular modem quirk at this stage:

00000026
Feb  9 11:08:49 hill FaxGetty[1577]: ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION

Hylafax also creates a partial tif file in
/var/spool/fax/recvq.

I have tried a variety of modem configurations with no effect,
but I can't see what else could be wrong. Any suggestions
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
