The faxbot command is, in a sense, bugged, in that nowadays it almost never works. It pings EasyFax, waits 60 seconds, and then times out, approximately 99% of the time. Technically it is not bugged, as it is doing what it is supposed to do and really EasyFax is the one dropping the ball, but still, the command basically is just a "wait 60 seconds and then abort" right now, so I'll opt to call it a bug for the purposes of a thread prefix.
It's possible there's a way to change the default faxbot or the timeout duration, but I poked around and couldn't find anything. If I could just swap the default to CheeseFax, this would not be an issue, as CheeseFax always responds to me within about 10 seconds. As it stands, my run-once daily automation script requires me to instead manually retrieve and fight the fax monster every single day since the command always fails, which is quite irritating :<
