Nothing wrong with Multitechs . . . just about the best for HylaFAX IMHO.

faxspool and faxrunq? Are you sure you're not getting the mgetty+sendfax 
package confused with HylaFAX?

[root@osmin /root]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/faxrunq
mgetty-sendfax-1.1.21-2
[root@osmin /root]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/faxspool 
mgetty-sendfax-1.1.21-2
