Look at the logfile why it is returning immediately.

I'm not sure why you assume it should read from stdin - *what* is it
supposed to read from there?  Voice data is coming from the modem, command
are passed on the command line.

What is vox?  If you want to donate a voxtopfv/pvftovox converter, that
would be welcome.
