Uh?

In any case, it will be vgetty (really, the mgetty part of the vgetty
executable) which will *receive* a fax.

To receive a fax, you have many ways:

   - if ISDN is available (or maybe called-ID), use the called MSN
     to choose between fax/data and voice. This is implemented in
     the latest mvm.
   - if not, you may revert to ask your user to hit a DTMF for voicemail,
     and everything else or fax calling tone goes fax.
   - additionnally, you can go fax after voice mail.

Now, you do not give enough information for me to know of what the
problem is. What exactly is happening ?  vgetty can't guess what
the caller is (human or modem): a silent modem is like a silent human.

Or is the problem that fax/modem never works with vgetty ?  Then
we of course need a log file.
