Hi, Joe -

	I'm a new HylaFAX user too, so I can't offer any depth in my reply, but
here's what I did to test my installation.  As root:

sendfax -n -d 6045865237 /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps

	You would have to substitute your own recipient phone number, and the
PostScript file can be anything handy on your system.  I knew that this
CUPS test-page was only one sheet long :-)  Another file on my system
that I used (about 6 pages): /usr/share/emacs/21.2/etc/refcard.ps

	(our geographic area requires 10-digit dialling, even for local calls. 
Hence, that number *appears* to be a mal-formed long-distance number
lacking the leading '1', but in fact it is correct).

	This should help you verify your installation,
	-Gord
