Older mgetty versions had all class 2 modems in "class 0 mode" while
waiting for incoming calls, which worked very well for some Rockwell
modems, and not so well for others. With class 2.0 modems, the modem
always *had* to be in fax mode.
Recently, I changed the settings so that some class 2 modems are also run
in "class 2 mode", so maybe that triggered the problem at your end.
