Check the FIFO file permissions for your modem in
/var/spool/fax/FIFO.<serialdevice>

You may use 'mkfifo FIFO.<serialdevice>' to re-create it make sure to 'chown' it
to 'uucp:10' or 'uucp:dialer'

Does 'faxgetty' quit at some moment? Use ps -ax to check that.
It does look like a modem config issue.
What type of modem are you using?

When you stil don't get it working : send the
/var/spool/fax/etc/config.<serialdevice> file to me.

You may also check whether this modem has reported problems on
http://www.hylafax.org

Good luck,

Arjan
