uncomment the above line in /etc/inittab changing modem if needed.
What will happen if that phone line is called? Will faxgetty answer and try to receive a fax?
We don't want incoming fax, only outgoing.

Set your fax modem to _not answer_ incoming calls by setting RingBeforeAnswer to 0 in your modem's config file. Using the faxgetty method makes sure that Hylafax is always waiting to send or receive a fax. Much better than messing with scripts in /etc/init.d which will get overwritten by updates or changes via version upgrades, YOU, smart, apt, etc. Stan
