Allow me to advance the theory that you're mistaken, and kppp is using
/dev/modem or /dev/ttyLT0 -- or, hylafax is.  At any rate, the symptoms
you're describing are best explained by the device names not exactly
matching.

In testing the theory, you might want to try pointing them both to
/dev/modem.
