Once you get to a version of FS that supports timerfd there is less
issue with kernel freq.

Also, more people should try the new t30 modem emulation built right
into FS to work with hlyafax

see spandsp.conf.xml
one word of caution is don't leave (FS off and the faxgettys on) very
long or the system will start using the ttty's for ssh sessions etc
and faxgetty will start sending at commands to your stdin.



    <modem-settings>
<!--
total-modems set to N will create that many soft-modems.
    If you use them with Hylafax you need the following for each one
numbered 0..N:
    1) A line like this in /etc/inittab:
      f0:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/FS0

    2) copy conf/config.FS0 to /var/spool/hylafax/etc (or wherver the
appropriate dir is on your system)

    Subsequent modem configs would incrment the 0 to 1 and so on.

-->
      <param name="total-modems" value="0"/>
