Steve, 

HylaFAX is expecting the 'To' address to be in the form 'user@123456.FAX'
so it is trying to dial 'host' - ie 8737. Geddit?

Have a go with 'To : steve@16171231234.FAX' and you can put anything you
like in the Subject line.

I note you are trying to fax an attachment called 'fax.001'. If you need
this capability I would recommend careful reading of the faxmail man
page; otherwise stick to putting your messages in the email body.
