Has anyone looked at the implications (or difficulty) of just changing
the name 'fax' as used internally by HylaFax to 'uucp' so this
wouldn't be an issue?  If you don't use uucp, it might be confusing
to see the name as the owner of files and processes, but if you
do, one or the other ends up being wrong any way you look at it.
