I had this problem once before and it was because I was getting "RING A"
rather than "RING" from the modem - because distinctive ring support was
turned on on the modem. To verify if this is the case, I would suggest
running strace (on linux or an equivalent on whatever platform you're on)
against the faxgetty process. Call the number and see what shows up for
ringing.

In order to get faxgetty to 'see' the ring when it was "RING A" or
whatever, I added the following to my config:

RingExtended: "RING "

Another possibility is to setup your ModemResetCmds to turn off
distinctive ring recognition on the modem. This will be modem-specific.
