asterisk users - Jun 2010 - Issues running Asterisk + Iaxmodem + Hylafax on same machine

I'm running into a strange issue with Asterisk + Iaxmodem + hylafax on
the same machine. After rebooting the iaxmodems don't register to
asterisk. Stoping and starting the relevant services gets it working,
but what is the point of using init scripts if it does not work right?
I already tried to adjust the init scripts in /etc/rc3.d so I have:

S50asterisk
s90iaxmodem
S95hylafax

So it should be starting in the correct order. I've previously done
this so Asterisk is on one server and IAXmodem and Hylafax on another,
I am stumped.

I'm using init to spawn a script that kicks off iaxmodem.  I don't know 
if this is the difference, but it's working fine that way for me.

cat start.iaxmodem
#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/bin/iaxmodem

sleep 3

/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX01 &
/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX02 &
/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX03 &
/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX04 &
