Actually, this was an error in my rpm. I should have included
a symbolic link ps2fax --> ps2fax.gs in /var/spool/hyla/bin.
I will fix it in the next release of the rpm.

The ModemClass: 2 was also introduced by me in the rpm. It will be
removed in the next release. As a clueless user I typed 2 when 
faxsetup asked for ModemClass. Basically I copied the config
file faxsetup generated for me. 

I have no complaints about faxsetup. However, the information
that  faxsetup probes and finds out doesn't vary across
Readhat Linux systems. It is the information that faxaddmodem
is trying to find out that is likely to vary from 
machine to machine. Unfortuantely, that is the information
that is most difficult to find out by probing. I don't
mean to complain about the program as such. I just think
that it is difficult for any program to assure that
probing a modem works reliably. I don't see how
a programmer can test his program on hundreds of 
models.
