Hi Jeff,
          
I run HylaFAX on 4.2-STABLE and those files are for Linux.
Once you've installed Hylafax and run faxaddmodem, you need to make sure that:

o	You edit /etc/ttys to setup faxgetty to listen on a tty and you do that by adding these lines.

#Necessary for HYLAFAX modem setup
cuaa0   "/usr/local/sbin/faxmodem"
cuaa0   "/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty"      dialup  on 

If your modem is on COM2 , change cuaa0 to cuaa1

Next make sure HylaFAX is started at system startup time:

o	cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
	mv hylafax.sh.sample hylafax.sh
	chmod +x hylafax.sh

Of course I am assuming that your config.cuaaX (where X=0,1 depending on your COM port) is already
configured.

The rest that you see on that page is Linux-centric stuff.

I use Hylafax mostly for sendout for www.tpc.int

maybe you should look at www.cybercomm.nl/~hylafax/setup.html and read through /~hylafax/setup-advanced.html
