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.
