Because under Suse faxgetty program is installed in /usr/lib.

I have configured my modem in class1 but it was not enough to solve my 
problem.
Actually, when i run faxaddmodem and set 1 to answer to 
RingsBeforeUpdate ?, i noticed that in the file config.ttyS0 the line 
"RingsBeforeUpdate :    1" was missing.
So i added it and ran faxsetup, and then my modem answered incoming faxes.
I made the same by configurint it in class2 and it also answered but i 
preferred  going on using my modem as a class1.
Besides i would like to know why after running faxxaddmodem all the 
values set are not automatically written  in the configuration file.
Is it a bug ?
