This seems to have worked, as I can see from the /var/log/messages/:

Strange is the last modem entry there....
anyway, receiving faxes worked at least once now :-|
but sending is a mess. As another user reported (today?), the transmission
breaks after a few lines, some of the stuff is unreadable, this looks like the
same problem I have here. (May switching from class2 to class1-modem help?)

And....it still is trying to lock /dev/modem:

I checked /var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS0 and
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config, but couldnt find anything about /modem.......
Where is that message coming from?

Cheers
Axel
