I'm assuming you either figured out what you have done so far, or have seen

If you know you have everything proper, check /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax
if it's there then that's your problem. If not, make sure your modem is
working properly. I have had the 'worst' experience over the past few weeks
trying to setup first AutoPPP (to make sure everything was working right),
then portslave.
It turned out this f&*king motherboard (houston m575) would NOT let go of
IRQ12 in the bios, even after telling it to. The bocaboard's default IRQ is
12. So, in the end switching the bocaboard over to IRQ11 fixed everything.
(all other motherboards I have tried worked just fine)
One thing to note. With it being on IRQ12 it seemed as though everything
was fine. It would answer the call, and see it was an AutoPPP session, but
would NOT authenticate it.
This drove me so close to the edge it's not funny!
So, the moral is. It could very well be a hardware conflict somewhere.
Good Luck.
