Without researching this answer in detail, and simply going off of what 
I recall and have pieced-together in my head over the years...

It seems that the intent of the site-specific commands such as ADDMODEM, 
CONFIG, etc. *were* indeed intended to allow full fax system 
administration from the hfaxd client (logged in with administrator 
privileges).

Whether or not those features actually work, however, is another story.  
I've never used them for such, and I don't know of any client program 
that actually attempts it.

Thanks,

Lee.
