No. That was just quite another item. See below.

First, second and third I want to thank 3 nice guys for helping me offline

Now to what transpired; FYI:

1. 4.1.5 has a procedural problem to faxsetup and faxaddmodem on
   recent OpenBSDs. It doesn't go through; observed by others as well.

2. Some unofficial port (or the straightforward make && make install)
   of 4.2.5 or 4.3.0 do go through *if done from scratch*

3. faxaddmodem of 4.2.5 and 4.3.0 will *not* go through on a system
   that had 4.1.5 installed earlier.
3.a. pkg_delete hylafax leaves a lot of files inclusive the whole
   /var/spool/hylafax intact. That's from where a faulty variable 
   stems that hinders any faxaddmodem to go through. Therefore

4. in order to get it running, a fresh make && make install on a 
   fresh system (or one cleansed from any hyla and fax) of 
   4.2.5 or 4.3.0 is needed.

5. The EOL error of my out-of-the-box install of original hylafax4.3.0
   is completely unrelated:

   One might think of setting
   Class2RecvDataTrigger:  "\022"
   in ..../etc/config.tty0x by default
