I don't think it is useful to you.
The point of HylaFAX is to support FAXing. Conveniently, it allowed
non-FAX uses to share the same serial port. But elsewhere you said
you didn't do any FAXing. So there is no benefit in running HylaFAX.
So for me, HylaFAX is a cumbersome last-resort workaround, if I can't
find any easier way to get a dial-up modem working under Linux.
