What exactly is your problem?

If you download the latest snapshot from http://www.hylafax.org extract it.
cd into the top level dir
- run ./configure
- make
- make install
- run /usr/local/sbin/faxsetup
- run /usr/local/sbin/faxaddmodem
- do something with the /usr/local/(s)bin/hylafax start to start 'hfaxd' and
'faxq'
- use ps -ax | grep fax to make sure they are running
- run /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty -D /dev/cuaXX

invoke sendfax -n -d <faxnumber> <file>

use faxstat to check what is going on

Still problems? => Check your modem config.

Good luck
