Re: [hylafax-users] Connecting External USR v.90 modem

["Tanner, Robby" <TANNER@Wardrop.com>]

Actually, the external modem had a switch to toggle between "smart" and
"dumb" modes.  I wanted "smart" I guess because I'm now able to control it
with cu and minicom.  Perhaps "dumb" is to have the device act as a
winmodem.

Anyway, my current dilemma is how to remove /dev/ttyS2 as the hylafax modem
and configure it to use /dev/ttyS1.  I tried removing the config.ttyS2 file
and FIFO.ttyS2 but on the next reboot there it was and the spooled jobs were
still trying to use it.

When I run faxstat -s instead of getting the customary "Running and idle"
message it just says "Running".

Similarly, for some reason the call to "fuser" fails when running
faxaddmodem when used on ttyS1 but not on ttyS2.  Any clues anyone?  Anyone
at all?  Pleeeeeeeeez :)
