I'll probably confuse the matter more but I tend to think it has to do
with GPFax's implementation or use of the 'owndevunit' library. I have
only gotten it to work correctly with 'getty'. If I try GPFax and
*anything* else that implements odu I have problems. If I run GPFax
quietly then run getty, I can use term programs, ppp, whatever with
*fewer* problems. *getty* handles who gets access to the seriel port.

The problem with this setup is that I'm still running a 68000 and
GPFax doesn't always get to an incoming fax before the connection
bombs.
