You need to run faxgetty on each modem so that it can inform faxq of 
when the modem is "ready" or initialized.  Otherwise, you must run 
"faxmodem" to do the same, but faxmodem does not initialize the modem 
and faxsend must do it when it attempts the fax.  Generally it is 
advisable to just run faxgetty.

That said, you have both inittab IDs as "mo00".  I'm not sure that will 
work.  They should be different.

After doing that you need to run 'init q' to reload inittab.

After doing that you should use 'ps aux' or 'ps -e' to check to see if 
you have two, distinct faxgetty process running.

If you run faxstat immediately after first starting faxgetty you should 
see the status of the modem be "initializing" and so forth.

Thanks,

Lee.
