Hello Dominik,

some hylafax versions don't set the supplementory groups when switching  
to the configured user ID.

The hylafax user (uucp?) probably is a member of the group (dialout?)  
which owns /dev/capi20, so he should have acces to the device file. If  
hylafax does not set the supplementary groups, the process accessing  
the device does not have the necessary group membership.

Maybe you experienced this bug on your system.
(Current Debian packages include a patch which fixes this bug but that  
does not help on a SuSE system.)
