I did, but it was interlineated in a reply to someone else's problem,
so I'm not surprised some folk missed it.

Two problems:

Hylafax detects the 5634 as a 1432, and uses a config file with a
dialstring with an '2' sign in it.  Delete that; the 5634 gets
confused.

Also, for some reason, the 4.16 rev of the firmware seems to ignore M0
(to silence the modem), unless you also specify L0 (no volume), which
HF doesn't set, by default.  Add M0L0 to the dialstring.
