That's a red herring, ignore references to the split device trick.

You need to run faxaddmodem to configure a modem on /dev/ttySxx where xx is    
the correct number for the COM port your modem is on. Then you need to run 
faxgetty(8c) from inittab(5) on that port.

The goal here it for 'faxstat -v' to tell you "Running and idle"
