[hylafax-users] [Newbie -> S.O.S.] Unable to configure/send fax from Hylafax

[Rupesh Nadar <rnadar@cmie.com>]

I have installed Hylafax 4 on SuSE 7.0

I have read the FAQ on www.hylafax.org & accordingly setup hylafax.

Whenever I try to send a fax by giving the following command

sendfax -n -s A4 -D -d <Telephone No.> <Path/Filename>.

I get the following error message in my logs

I am using /dev/ttyS1 for my ZyXel 28.8 Modem & besides this I a symbolic
link of ttyS1 to /dev/modem.

On further investigation I found the following permissions :

crw-------   1 uucp     uucp       4,  65 Dec  8 12:30 /dev/ttyS1

whereas /dev/modem has 777 permission.

Whenever I change the permission of /dev/ttyS1 to 777 then I don't get the
error message in the log for 

Dec  8 12:13:05 linux FaxGetty[8229]: ANSWER: Can not lock modem device

but, still i am unable to send the fax out. And, also my permissoin to
/dev/ttyS1 resets back to 

crw-------   1 uucp     uucp       4,  65 Dec  8 12:30 /dev/ttyS1

Could someone please help me. If any further info is required from me
please let me know.
