On my box the directory is /var/spool/hylafax, but its a linux box so YMMV.
Once you do determine your hylfax directory, all your config stuff should be
in the ./etc folder underneath it. The other thing that would likely be of
interest to you is your inittab file, since it sounds like you may have
tinkered with your getty's quite a bit.
