Mark,

The last time I was on a debian install, I was surprised by the fact that 
the init script synchronised /etc/hylafax and /var/spool/hylafax/etc, and 
also that it was itself starting faxgetty, if configured to do so. The init 
script sources a config file something like (from memory) 
/etc/defaults/hylafax and this file tells the init script how to handle the 
starting of faxgetty. I guess what I'm saying here is just to make sure you 
understand how faxgetty is being started on your system.

Is it possible you have a couple of different faxgettys fighting for the 
modem? Do you only ever see one in the process table?

What if you run probemodem on ttyS2 when there are no faxgettys running 
right after a cold boot of the server and a power-cycle of the modem? Can it 
chat with the modem?
