No, it stopped after the first time.  I have a feeling the script has a 
problem.  Yours is an Exar versus my Supra which is Rockwell based, that 
may have elicited a different reaction from the script.

I have no clue.  Shouldn't have been backgrounded.

Don't think so.  That script runs during the install only.  After it 
finishes installing you can modify the modem config file in 
/var/spool/fax/etc/config.* as necessary.  Some sample configs are in 
/var/spool/fax/config.
