I don't run the CentOS version of HylaFAX, but one I have built
myself, and use its faxgetty to handle incoming fax and data (we
still have some dialup uucp connections :-). The faxgetty daemon
logs pretty much everything it does so you may find useful info
there if you're using it.
FWIW, I've never been able to figure out any of the other fax getty
programs, and have been using the one with HylaFAX (nee FlexFAX)
for the better part of 20 years going back to SCO Xenix days if I
remember correctly.

It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of
their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or
so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
