Leave as is.

It shoud have been done automatically, I think
>/var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax.gs. Is this then (forgive me for asking...) ln -s

cd /var/spool/fax/bin
ln -s ps2fax.gs ps2fax

If the link is not there, you need to do it by hand.

I think you can, but you don't want to (since you are using a 2.2.x
kernel, right?)
Unless you have other programs using the com1 as cua0 (make yourself
absolutely sure of this), you'd better using ttyS0 (delete
/var/spool/fax/etc/config.cua0, and re-run faxaddmodem using ttyS0).

You can edit the files and leave those fields blank 
My config
LogFacility:                    daemon
CountryCode:                    39
AreaCode:
LongDistancePrefix:
InternationalPrefix:    00

>Howto 2.2.4 tells me to add a line m0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttySx to

Send-only work ok even without faxgetty (without faxgetty you need to
use "faxmodem ttySx" every time you start the HylaFAX server though).
However, if you don't already have some getty on that serial line (and
so you would prefer to stick with it and leave faxgetty for when you
need it), it's strongly advised to use faxgetty, because the faxstat
output will be more "eloquent".
