[Gllug] Faxgetty - further musings

Having re-read your message properly, I see that /dev/FIFO.modem is a named
pipe, which according the faxgetty manpage faxgetty creates/opens to
communicate with a 'command channel'.  If it already exists when you tried
the strace faxgetty, then presumably another process must have already
created the pipe, with different access privileges.

This may or may not achieve anything, but try creating the named pipe
manually with GLOBAL read/write permissions and then do another strace faxgetty
and see what you get !!
