# sendfax -n -d xxxxx /home/pschon/fax
request id is 210 (group id 210) for host localhost (1
file)
# faxstat -s
HylaFAX scheduler on x.x.x: Running
Modem modem (+x.xxx.xxx.xxx): Initializing server

is how it works for me.

When I set this up I did not have faxgetty running.
Often times I would see "waiting for modem" but it
would eventually work.

While trying to solve another problem I saw that I
should setup faxgetty to run even for outbound. So I
put a line in inittab 

m0:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty  modem

But when I run faxsetup it doesn't respawn faxgetty
... it kills it but doesn't respawn it. I have it in
rc.local. So now when I go to send a fax my modem says
# ...  Running and idle

I do this

# /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty  -D modem

(modem is link to ttyS0)

# faxstat -s
# Initializing Server 

and off goes the fax (not always being received but it
tries)

Be sure you have faxgetty really running

ps ax | grep faxgetty

and is it tied to the device

# ps ax | grep fax 
23048 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxq
