This is good.  This is what it should say.  Check the status of the fax queue
with the faxstat command (man 1 faxstat).

You might want to put somthing like:
.*@dorian\.cybersmith\.net
.*\.cybersmith\.net$

You just need the modem of you have multiple modems configured, and only
want to use a certain modem or set of modems.  You can either specify
which modem from the sendfax command directoy with -hmodem@host or with
the FAXSERVER variable.

example:  FAXSERVER=cua1@localhost; exportFAXSERVER

Because of the "/dev/" on the front of the modemclass

Because you are sending it to dorian (from FAXSERVER variable), which isn't
in the etc/hosts file.
