Hmm. Sounds like PPP and HylaFAX are not (directly) the problem, but
rather your domain name resolution when you don't have PPP running. Do
you have a default fax server set up with FAXSERVER somewhere? Try
killing the PPP, and seeing if you can run "faxstat -v".

If that doesn't work, try setting your FAXSERVER to "localhost" and see
what you get....
