Ruh roh.  Let's see if we can help.

ps -ef | grep fax  (or possibly ps -fu fax, or some other similar
command...)

That's the hard way, of course; faxstat usually works fine.  :-)

This question had never occurred to me.  faxaddmodem usually handles
speed issues nicely; I've never had to speedlock a modem on a HylaFAX
system.

You probably don't need to: make sure $SERVERSPOOL/etc/hosts (where
that usually expands to /var/spool/fax, but you didn't mention which
OS you're on... and sometimes, I think, it might be /hosts.hfaxd)
contains the IP addresses of your workstations.  In a workstation
environment, you don't much need to use actual names and passwords.

In that file?  Certainly; and it's probably a touch easier.

Nope.  But there's not that much of it to do, either.  faxsetup will
walk you through it.
