Yup.

My advise would be;

   answering dial-in only	  - use getty(8), and correct setup of modem
   answering fax and dial-in	  - use flexfax - from ports
   answering voice, fax, dial-in  - use vgetty - from ports

   (flexfax is much better then vgetty/mgetty, but doesnt support zyxel voice)

Good luck

Henrik
