Hello Stefan,
I am having a problem similar to yours.

I've had slip using chat working well between two FreeBSD systems 2.0.5R
<-> 1.1.5.1R for long time now. I'm currently trying to get Hylafax
running but there seems to be a problem with the interaction between
faxgetty and chat/slattach.
I can use the identical port configuration with fax or slip (calling out
from the 2.0.5R machine) with no problem. I can't dial out with slip
while faxgetty is running, and you can't simply off the entry in /etc/ttys
and kill -1 1 to remove the faxgetty process. The machine must be
rebooted.
I realise this has something to do with clocal being manipulated by the
faxgetty running on the port slip is attempting to use. It is not
possible to run faxgetty on ttydX and dial out on the matching cuaaX
device at the same time - the cuaaX device remains "in use" while
faxgetty is on the ttydX device.
Has anyone managed to get these working? I am stuck with this and would
appreciate any help. This is why I abandoned flexfax with 1.1.5.1R some
time ago. I was hoping the new version would be better in this regard.
