Hi, Bernie,

True, you don't have to have faxgetty running, although if you intend
having the modem on all the time, or have unattended operation, then
I would recommend using faxgetty even if you only send faxes.

What you need instead is 'faxstate', [ note, not faxstat ] to tell
HylaFAX that it can use the modem. Have a look at the man page, 
remember you will need the -n option to talk directly to the faxq
process. Something like :

      $ faxstate -s ready -n ttyS1 

where ttyS1 is the modem port on my system, it maybe different on 
your system.
