Did you run faxaddmodem? It seems like you don't have a configuration file
for that modem or something. When you look into /var/spool/hylafax/etc, do
you have the following files there:

	config
	config.capi20

How do you start faxgetty? From inittab? How the inittab line looks like?
Is the device name /dev/capi20? Can you talk to the modem with kermit,
minicom, tip or similar program when you actually point the program to
talk to /dev/capi20? The default for minicom is to use /dev/modem, so make
sure you are actually really talking to /dev/capi20. /dev/capi20 is a
strange name for a modem device anyway. I would expect /dev/cua* or
something similar.
