Thread
The port has been updated to version 1.3.5.

Additional changes introduced in this port:

- Change the daemon account from uucp to _iaxmodem
- Include an rc.d script

Advice for existing installations:

- Remove/disable the method you to start the service before enabling the 
iaxmodem service.
- Review existing configuration files and update the owner uid to _iaxmodem

	owner		_iaxmodem:dialer

Refer to the sample configuration file 
/usr/local/share/examples/iaxmodem/iaxmodem-cfg.ttyIAX

Observations:

If existing configuration files remain unaltered and the legacy uucp 
account is removed, the uid of the modem device files will be set to root.

	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root       wheel     10 Feb 18 17:40 /dev/ttyIAX -> 
/dev/ttyp1
	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root       wheel     10 Feb 18 17:40 /dev/ttyIAX2 -> 
/dev/ttyp2
	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root       wheel     10 Feb 18 17:40 /dev/ttyIAX3 -> 
/dev/ttyp0
	crw-rw----  1 root       dialer  5, 0 Feb 18 17:40 /dev/ttyp0
	crw-rw----  1 _iaxmodem  dialer  5, 1 Feb 18 17:40 /dev/ttyp1
	crw-rw----  1 root       dialer  5, 2 Feb 18 17:40 /dev/ttyp2

When IAXmodem is used with HylaFAX the faxgetty process will change the 
ownership of the device to _hylafax. So far, no problems have been 
observed with this behaviour.
