Hmmm.  Actually, that's not possible with faxrunqd directly (faxrunqd is
made for "real" modems, not wimpy things...), but you could play tricks
with a wrapper script around sendfax, like this:

/usr/local/sbin/sendfax:

#!/bin/sh

sleep 3
exec /usr/local/sbin/real.sendfax $@

or something similar.  You could also try whether it helps if you set 
"open-delay" to something huge ("open-delay 10000") in sendfax.config.
