Hi,

You should start hfaxd and faxq in your rc startup scripts. If you want
hylafax to handle incoming faxes, you should respawn a faxgetty from
inittab. It is recommended to respawn faxgetty in send-only environments,
but not essential. If you don't run faxgetty, you must run faxmodem
against the fax device, preferably from your rc scripts.
