Yes, I'll put this in.  It's odd, though, because the HOWTO tells people to
use faxgetty and RingsBeforeAnswer=0 in send-only environments.  It lists
faxmodem as a inferior alternative.

Sigh... I had intended the HOWTO to be a "basic setup instruction", it
seems to have become a bad replacement to the man pages for newbies.
