Good stuff, Aidan... except that Ramon is running FC9.  I had forgot 
about the faxgetty config in /etc/default/hylafax.  I had specified 
that, if there is no faxgetty entry in /etc/initab (which there is not), 
then USE_FAXGETTY=yes.  So there is a line around here somewhere that 
starts faxgetty.

Ramon, the active lines from my /etc/default/hylafax, in case it is of 
some use to you, are:

if grep -E '^[^#]*:respawn:/usr/sbin/fax(getty|modem).*$' /etc/inittab 
>/dev/null 2>&1
then
	USE_FAXGETTY=init
else
	USE_FAXGETTY=yes
fi
RUN_HYLAFAX=1

Note that there is nothing in my /etc/initab so USE_FAXGETTY=yes after 
processing this script.

Doesn't FC9 have some sort of package management system equivalent to 
apt or Synaptic or dpkg in Debian?  You are in a bit of a jam if you 
cannot readily remove apps you do not want or which need to be re-installed.
