You fool, you spoke too soon!

Giuseppe was spot-on, the HP's serial port is working fine following the 
reboot, thank you.

The modem had been operational too, apparently.  Well, at least until it 
was helpfully unplugged in favour of a cute little office shredder that 
someone brought in.  :-/

I'll still get a USB/serial converter but it's good to know I don't have 
any horrible esoteric software environment problem after all.  Running 
faxaddmodem worked perfectly and HylaFAX is happy.

Thanks again everyone.
