The rpm already does this. However, the script starts only faxq
process. I put the hfaxd in the inetd.conf. I can easily start both
the the daemons from the same file. As I see inetd.conf soln
is for lowq volume fax servers. Whereas a standalone daemon is
for high volume fax servers.

I will take your word for it. However, I am not deciding one way or
other in the rpm script. I just check if /dev/modem exists and 
and advise the user to have /dev/modem.

Sure. That is easy.
