Re: [hylafax-users] HylaFAX v4.3.2 cannot initialize multiTech modem

[Dave Forrest <drf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't have a config.ttyS0, I would say it is NOT configured.
Do a locate config.tty  to see if it's somewhere odd and check to see what your 
bootup found -- try: dmesg|grep ttyS
My bootup found my modem on an odd port and I had severe problems much like you 
are reporting.  When I reran faxaddmodem on the port dmesg said was up, it 
started working.  I still have the old config.ttyS* files but they are not 
called in inittab, I just use faxgetty ttyS14  (I know it is an odd port -- but 
that's what dmesg reported)  I only have the one internal modem. Using a serial 
to external modem should be a snap, though.  I don't know why you don't have a 
config.ttyS0 -- faxaddmodem must not have completed its work.  :-(
