Dear All,
I am now try to setup the hylafax 6.0.5 for my machine running

Thanks.

I've not needed it under openBSD, but *wrote* the SunOS port for that,
many years back, and some of the early Red Hat compatible RPM's. What
does faxstat say? And what did faxaddmomdem say? And what kind of
modem are you using? And you might benefit from poking your nose in
the HylaFAX mailing lists, especially the ones for the Sourceforge
published HylaFAX+ software.
Many of the cheaper modems today are Winmodems, and rely extensively
on commercially provided Windows drivers to do their processing with
main CPU instead of on the serial port connected modem itself.
You'll be able to use them on a free or open operating system only if
someone has ported drivers, so that's why I'm asking what modem you're
using.
I've personally relied on external USR modems for some years, and
these days rely on Efax, a commercial service that actually uses
HylaFAX as its back end.
