You need both: init.d/hylafax to start hfaxd and faxq, and then either faxgetty
in inittab or faxmodem by hand
>Short question: what is the difference between faxgetty and faxmodem?
faxgetty is always alive and so HylaFAX always knows the state of the modem.
faxmodem just tells to HylaFAX "there's a modem on that port" then HylaFAX
ignores the modem until it needs it.

see man pages for more detailed info
