All of this seems like an incredible pain in the ass. I'm running Efax, which 
should handle the needs of almost any single-user setup. If you can tell it 
which port your modem is on, then it runs. I have a GUI frontend for KDE that 
makes it even easier. You may want to consider running a simpler program. 
Hylafax would just be worse, as it's a client-server solution designed for a 
multi-user environment. Of course....YMMV.
