Modems don't magically change between hardware modems and software modems
by the flick of a switch.  Furthermore, external modems can't change port
configurations that way, either.  You have to either change the cable to
the other port, or you have to change the BIOS settings for the port.

Just as it should do... there are no modems configured.  Change the BIOS
settings and then rerun faxsetup/faxaddmodem

This has been fixed in CVS.  I seem to recall that it only used fuser if it
had a previously established config.devid file.  Anyway, it was coded quite
poorly here, and as far as I'm aware nobody has had trouble in this regard
with fuser in faxaddmodem in CVS.
