These haven't been "prepared" yet.  Their state is "W" (You can find
out what that means in the faxstat manual page.  Look under the 'a' for
state in the JobFmt parameter.

Until a modem/device becomes available, and is allocated to send the
job, the server won't prepare the job.  The jobs will continue to wait,
and when they can be sent, they will be prepared and you will see the
pages calculated.

Figure out why your mode is "Waiting for modem to come ready"
