Here's the new transmission:

[root@nimue khollis]# faxrunq
processing F000018/JOB...
/usr/sbin/sendfax -v 713-627-2744 f1.g3 f2.g3 
Trying fax device '/dev/ttyS0'... OK.
Dialing 713-627-2744... OK.
sending 'f1.g3'...
sending 'f2.g3'...

/usr/sbin/sendfax: FAILED to transmit 'f2.g3'.
Transmission error: +FHNG:-5 (Unexpected hangup / read() error / write()
error (int.))
command exited with status 12

I did the change you requested. It still doesn't work. Any more ideas?
(Note, I *AM* using ttyS0)
