This is probably because you're not running faxgetty or faxmodem.  (Or 
perhaps faxgetty is having problems with kppp.)

In theory faxgetty and kppp should be able to coexist as long as they 
both use the same lockfile.  So you'd have problems if one of them 
referred to /dev/ttyS0 while the other referred to /dev/modem.
