Well, I see your point.  So, I think we should have something like this in
the FAQ (rewording / restructuring welcome).

Q: what are all these programs about?

A: All programs that are relevant for faxing (mgetty, sendfax, faxspool,
   faxrunq, ...) are explained in the man page "man fax".

   As for the voice programs (vgetty, vm, pvftormd, ...), please look in 
   the man page "man voice".


Hmmm.  Now, any volunteers to write a "voice.1" man page?
