Hmmm.  From staring at the logs, it's not really a case of "modem dropping
carrier", instead it seems to be a case of "modem playing dead" - it
shouldn't send *nothing* for two minutes in this point of the fax
protocol, regardless of what happens elsewhere.  *Never*.

Does it work better if you force it to class 2 mode ("modem-type cls2" in
mgetty.config)?  Maybe it's only broken in 2.0...

If not, I'm afraid there isn't anything mgetty can do here - the modem 
does class 2 processing, and mgetty just accepts the page data...
