It seems like somewhere between 5 and 7, FreeBSD changed this default:
    sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0

HylaFAX binds to the "default" address that the system provides. 
Unfortunately, the tcp6 socket it provides no longer accepts v4 connections.

To change that, you need to configure the system to return the tcp4 address (In
linux, it's gai.conf, I haven't found out how on FreeBSD), or configure the
system to allow the defualt address to accept V4 addresses.

To make it accept V4 connections, set the above sysctl, and things will work as
previous, the wildcard bind will bind to a socket that accepts both V4 and V6
connections.

And if you can't fix either of these on your server, continue to use -l to tell
hfaxd to bind to v4-only wildcard (if that's what you want), or multiple -ls to
tell it to bind to the v4 side and v6 side separately.
