That "Waiting for modem to come ready" message is the *last* updated
message that was put in the status file.  If you're stopped faxgetty
already, and the modem isn't being used, you can update that status by
hand to show anything you want:

	echo "Waiting for UPS delivery" > $SPOOL/status/$DEVICE

As soon as faxgetty is started again, it will start writing it's own
status messages to the file again.

You don't need to remove them, but removing either of them will make
that device no longer show up in faxstat output.
