To quote from the config manpage :

"The syntax is ``<name>:<regex>'' where <name> is the name for the class
and <regex> is a regular expression that faxq(8C) matches against known
modems."

I'm not an expert in regular expressions, but I don't think that 
'tty[47-48]' will do what you think it does. Unless you have a third
(or more) modems which you do not want to use for outbound faxes, I
suggest you delete the ModemClass parameter and rely on the default
of 'any:*'.

This was the subject of a fairly long thread in this mailing list 
about two weeks ago; have a look in the archives for the subject 
'Re: flexfax: Missing ':' separator' for all the gory details.

You have run faxaddmodem and have (or should have) a config file for each
modem (ie config.tty47 and config.tty48). You also need faxgetty running
against each port as well.

So you should have two faxgetty processes on your machine...?


Hope this helps,
