If you are having permission problems, then check your /dev/ttyS0 to be sure that both owner and group have rw permissions.
It useless, it changes back to _rw______ in seconds - I mean literally -. In order to receive faxes Hylafax added this to "/etc/inittab". # fax getty (hylafax) mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/modem If I change the device permissions, faxgetty changes it back as soon as I start wvdial, which fails. The configuration script asked for which permmissions I wanted on the device, but I ignored that at first. Later, a second run of the script doesn't allow me to change anything!
Hylafax changed mine to fax & uucp, rather than root & uucp that the other unused ttySx devices were. If your modem is connnected to another serial port, then look for the corresponding device. Also, if you decide to rerun faxsetup, I would recommend you make a copy of your /var/spool/fax/etc folder before doing so. The files you need to keep are cover.templ, dialrules, dialrules.europe, dialrules.sf-ba, lutRS18.pcf, dpsrpinter.ps & hosts.hfaxd. All others in that directory, you can delete before rerunning faxsetup.
I'll try that, thankyou. I'll backup it, delete files, and rerun. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
