Thats an older version. I would suggest to use a recent HylaFAX version.

Hmm, that looks different like on my installations. Maybe
a somewhat garbeled installation. Looks that the sceduler
creates and checks the FIFO at /dev/FIFO and maybe 
faxmodem sends status reports to /FIFO.

Have a look at 
/var/spool/fax # ls -al
total 22
drwxr-xr-x   17 fax      uucp          443 Feb 26 08:27 .
drwxr-xr-x   19 root     root          447 Aug 24  2001 ..
prw-------    1 fax      uucp            0 Jun  6 09:10 FIFO
prw-------    1 fax      wheel           0 Mar 11 12:00 FIFO.ttyS1

and /var/spool/fax/dev

If you found FIFO's in both directories then you may have
a broken installation.
