onDev() only uses ondelay if the ONDELAY definition in faxaddmodem line 113
points to a valid file.  onDev is reconstructed without the use of ondelay
if alter the value of ONDELAY to point to a non-existant file such as
ONDELAY=/etc/foo  (in Linux anyway...)

You may want to try this - see if the problem is with the ondelay program...

With ondelay, the onDev() function is like this:

    onDev() {
        if [ "$1" = -c ]; then
            shift; catpid=`${ONDELAY} $tdev $SH -c "$* >$OUT" & echo $!`
        else
            ${ONDELAY} $tdev $SH -c "$*"
        fi
    }

Without ondelay, the onDev() function is like this:

    onDev() {
        if [ "$1" = -c ]; then
            shift; catpid=`$SH <$tdev >$tdev -c "$* >$OUT" & echo $!`
        else
            $SH <$tdev >$tdev -c "$*"
        fi
    }

I'm not bright enough to know what the real difference is here.  Without
spending a lot more time looking at it.
