I think you should follow these steps:

1. configure your modem using faxaddmodem. This should create a
file /etc/hylafax/config.ttyS0;
2. check /etc/defaults/hylafax. RUN_HYLAFAX should be "1" and you may
change (if you don't like default value) USE_FAXGETTY;
3. restart hylafax with "invoke-rc.d hylafax restart"

the start procedure will act only if RUN_HYLAFAX is 1. During startup
the variable USE_FAXGETTY will be used the determine how to start
faxgetty: if you leave the variable at "yes", then faxgetty is started
there; if you change in "init" then you should configure your inittab
file.

If anything goes wrong, please check /var/log/syslog and post here its
content.

Bye,
Giuseppe
