This works nicely, for the currently-running faxq instance. After a 
restart, however, faxq doesn't use the modem until "faxmodem <device>" 
is run.

On initialization, I see evidence that faxQueueApp::scanForModems() is 
invoked, via the following strace output:

stat("FIFO.ttyS4", {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
stat("etc/config.ttyS4", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=914, ...}) = 0

...and, given that both these stat calls succeed, I would *expect* to 
see faxq make use of the modem in question for sending outgoing jobs.

I am *guessing* that the modem is in fact added, but never has its state 
changed from DOWN to READY? I'd expect that this would normally happen 
during a call to setCapabilities() -- but I don't see anywhere faxq 
calls setCapabilities except when processing an incoming message on the 
FIFO.


Again, some enlightenment would be appreciated. Thanks!

(This is a send-only environment without faxgetty running).
