What version of HylaFAX are you running? The HylaFAX root-path did change
as of version 4.1. It is now '/var/spool/hylafax'. May be you have been
looking in the wrong directory?
If 'hosts.hfaxd' does not exist in your 'etc' directory relatively to you
HylaFAX root directory then you have to create one and add the IP-adresses
of the machines you are using in there. (Or some other entries --> See 'man
hosts.hfaxd'.)
