Set your ServerTracing (both in the server config, etc/config, and the 
modem configs, etc/config.<devid>) to 0xFFF and see what's happening 
that makes the down state go away.

My guess is that there's an event (like an incoming call) that causes 
faxgetty or faxq to re-read the modem config file, which doesn't have 
the down state set there, and so the modem is re-enabled. In my limited 
experience using faxstate/faxconfig it doesn't work too well alone when 
faxgetty is running.

Then, if you'd like to see this resolved, I recommend filing a Bugzilla 
report.
