Heh.  Apparently it's canon these days.  Note, however, the faxq manpage:

                         When faxq is  run  in  conjunction  with
       faxgetty processes, it is not necessary to use faxmodem to
       specify modems; instead the programs communicate  informa­
       tion about the status and capabilities of each modem.  The
       latter setup provides a more robust  and  powerful  system
       and is the intended way for the software to operate.

Note that last line; seems quite pointed, to me.  The *only* reason I can
see that someone would choose to not run faxgetty would be if they were
using the modem for purposes other than faxing (i.e. dial-up), and the
fax-function were only an occasional and temporary arrangement.

Lee.
