    Well, we've got a nice, fairly automated way to *add* a modem, 
    but how does one remove a modem cleanly?  I've got this modem
    (well, serial port, actually) that went bad, and I need to 
    remove it... I think I know what to remove, but I want to make
    sure I don't forget anything:
    
      init call for faxgetty on that port
      that port's FIFO
      config.thatport
      ... ?
    
    what else am I missing?
    
If you are running faxgetty then I usually just change the init entry
and send a SIGHUP to init (kill -1 1); faxgetty will be sent a SIGTERM
by init and it will notify faxq that the modem is to be marked "down".
If you run faxq send-only, then faxstate -s down <device> is all you 
need to disable.  There is no need to remove any files.
