Well, first off, I think that about 90% of those questions in faxsetup 
and faxaddmodem should be omitted as they only just confuse people.  The 
correct response to the "modem group" question would be to supply a 
fully-defined ModemGroup entry as defined by 'man hylafax-config'.  So 
in your case that would be "modemgroup1:ttyS0".

However, my recommendation would be to simply delete the ModemGroup line 
from your config file, as it will not serve you any purpose whatsoever 
in a one-modem installation anyway.  ModemGroup is used for instances 
where you have multiple modems and want one group of those modems to 
operate differently (especially with respect to job allocation) than 
another group.

Just delete these files.
