You are exactly correct.  Both programs MUST use the same device name, si=
nce
the lock file name is based on the device name.  Change your PPP setup to=
 use
/dev/ttyS1, or your Hylafax setup to /dev/modem.  I prefer the explicit d=
evice
name, since then there's no possible confusion about which device is bein=
g
used.  However, some people like using the symbolic link /dev/modem --> =

/dev/ttyS1
