Yes.  So rm /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.<devid>

rm /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO.<devid>

Yes.  So rm /var/spool/hylafax/status/<devid>

If you're using the debian packages /var/spool/hylafax/etc and
/etc/hylafax are "sort-of synced" by the init scripts.

So on debian (and it's derivatives like ubuntu) you'll also need:
  rm /etc/hylafax/config.<devid>

Because no one's proposed or written one yet ;-)
