The solution I found (for slip connections) was to kill -STOP faxgetty.pid
so the call didn't hang up on connect:
echo " stopping faxgetty - will restart after downing slip"
kill -stop `ps -ax | grep faxgetty | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
sleep 5
slattach -a -h -z -r '/usr/local/bin/sl-dial.script' -s 115200 /dev/cuaa5
Then restart faxgetty after I shutdown the slip link:
echo "Restarting faxgetty in 5 seconds..."
sleep 5
kill -cont `ps -ax | grep faxgetty | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
Works well for me.

I'm doing this in 2.0.5 but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work
in current
