You are probably using the ModemClass parameter incorrectly. It does 
not define whether the modem is class 1, 2, or whatever, but to define
a name for a set of modems. ( Perhaps 'ModemSet' or 'ModemGroup' would
be better description for this parameter ).

The correct syntax would be:

ModemClass:	"any:	ttyS[0-1]"

This would set the default fax modems to use for any job to be ttyS0
and ttyS1; leaving, say, the modem on ttyS2 to be used by HylaFAX solely
for inbound faxes.

If you have only one modem, or not interested in this advanced feature, then
delete the ModemClass parameter out of the modem config ( eg config.ttyS1 )
file.

BTW, a search for 'ModemClass' in the mailing list archives at 

    http://www.hylafax.org/archive

would find several versions of this reply.
