vgetty doesn't pick up

[elvinatom]

Hello forum!
I have an ubuntu 7.1 i386 server with all kinds of stuff on it. It runs hylafax on an external serial voice/data/fax modem (ttyS3) - the "Trendnet TFM-560X" to be precise. I don't know why the only serial port on the board was assigned as COM4, but anyways - who cares.

I lately decided to add voicemail to that box, got myself a PCI-serial-card (since I was out of COM ports), another modem (same one: TFM-560X) put it together. Turns out the new modem is on ttys0. Then I installed mgetty, mgetty-voice, mgetty-pvftools, configured the voice.conf and added the file "ttyS0" to /etc/event.d (exec /sbin/vgetty ttyS0). A greeting is present.

When both modems are idle, the voicemail modem has CS- and MR-LEDs on, the fax modem however has CS- RS- TR- and MR-LEDs on - so the voice-modem is off I believe. I can test it with minicom and it returns "ok" on AT command - then the RS- and TR-LED's come on as well as on the fax modem.

btw, there are no vgetty logs in /var/log

I googled around, but couldn't find any answers. Any suggestion would be awesome.

Update:
I checked my logs and found this:

05/24 23:05:38  vgetty: experimental test release 0.9.32 / with duplex patch

05/24 23:05:40  vm: Modem returned ERROR
05/24 23:05:41  no voice modem detected

Does my modem have problems returning the modem type or what does it mean?

I don't know how far this will help since I don't have such a modem and know very little about vgetty, but I just ran across a post through google that showed someone with the same modem trying to setup an answering machine and he couldn't get it working until someone suggested setting "forceV253 TRUE" in his voice.conf file (on my present system that is located in /etc/mgetty+sendfax
