note, it was *not* ENOENT, it was ENXIO.

Sure, but it's a *FIFO*, is anything on the other end of a FIFO?  You
can't just open a FIFO to write, unless there is something which has the
FIFO open to read.

Start faxgetty on ttyACM0, or tell faxstate to talk to faxq directly if
you're purposely not running faxgetty.
