THere are two ways you can get the modem setup for faxes.I'm in
Palo-Alto at the moment, so I can't access my machine to tell you the
particulars, but it boils down to this. If you have it setup to
receive faxes, then the modem and faxq are automatically
initialized. If you have it setup for send only, then you manually
have to setup the modem and faxq ( or is it hfaxd ? ) with faxsetup
(?). Sorry I don't remember the details. I highly recomend installing
the html pages, as they document the system quite well.

Here is the script I use to start it up:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /usr/local/lib/fax/hfaxd ] ; then
        echo " "
        echo "Starting Hylafax Daemon"
        /usr/local/lib/fax/hfaxd -i hylafax -o fax
else
        echo "Unable to find /usr/local/lib/fax/hfaxd. hfaxd not
started"
fi
if [ -f /var/spool/fax/bin/faxq ] ; then
        echo " "
        echo "Starting Hylafax Fax Queue Daemon"
        /var/spool/fax/bin/faxq 
else
        echo "Unable to find /var/spool/fax/bin/faxq. faxq not started"
fi
if [ -f /var/spool/fax/bin/start_cua1 ] ; then
        echo " "
        echo "Starting modem on cua1"
         /var/spool/fax/bin/start_cua1
else
        echo "Unable to find  /var/spool/fax/bin/start_cua1. Fax modem on cua1 not started"
fi

start_cua1 is:

#!/bin/sh

/var/spool/fax/bin/faxmodem -c
"(0,1),(0-3),(0-2),(0-2),(0),(0),(0),(0-7)" cua1
