done... the pr is now in the system (pkg/22867).

There's one thing you might want to change:
the new release uses the user "fax" (in the variable FAX_OUT_USER)
I added
PKG_GROUPS=             dialer
PKG_USERS=              fax:dialer
to the package Makfile.

We sould configure the fax user only in one place.
I tried 
PKG_GROUPS=             dialer
PKG_USERS=              ${FAX_OUT_USER}:dialer
but it didn't work.
