Done, it is attached in a tar.gz file

I removed the /var/lock/LCK..ttyS0 file to make sure nothing is
locking it. I checked ps -A to make sure no process is accessing the
serial modem. Looked ok.

I cannot seem to generate the config.ttyS0 file. But there is a
"config" file and when looking inside says the following:

---
LogFacility:		daemon
CountryCode:		961
AreaCode:		01
LongDistancePrefix:	0
InternationalPrefix:	00
DialStringRules:	etc/dialrules.europe
ServerTracing:		1
ContCoverPage:		/var/spool/fax
TimeOfDay:		Any
---

So I renamed it to config.ttyS0 and restarted hylaFAX. The logs show
that faxgetty tries to say "HELLO" (something that wasn't there before
in my logs) and then I Get the same error that the modem cannot be
initialized and that its wedged.

I am pretty sure the serial modem is connected to ttyS0, connecting to
it from minicom and cu on that device works and issuing commands to it
works on ttyS0.

I still did not mess with the setserial thing. I'll try that later and
report back.
