/etc/ttys says:
cuaa2 "/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty -d" vt100 on rtscts insecure

Ok, so it's not on cuaa1 :-)  Incidently, I've never gotten outgoing
faxes to work properly.  The port stuff works - I get a connection,
negotiate and ultimately get some sort of error - as I remember it
was with the "have you got that" bit at the end of each page.  I
can get outgoing to work as class 1, but that's no good - I want
to answer the phone with AT+FAA=1 - class 2.0 only.

I havn't mucked around with this stuff for a while - that's why
my problem description is so vague.  Maybe I'll get back to it
some time.  Maybe I'll have a "faxq" using a config file saying
class 1 and a "faxgetty" using a config file saying class 2.0.....
