Hello Michele.

did you check the configuration in /etc/isdn/capi.conf?

If this shows your modem "faxCAPI" it means c2faxrecv is running and has
found a valid configuration. IIRC capi4hylafax does not check CAPI
access before actually doing anything with it.

HylaFAX and capi4hylafax do not need /dev/faxCAPI because this is not a
real modem tty device.

This might be a file permissions issue or missing CAPI configuration for
your card.

On my system I have
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 68, 0 Jun 18 14:44 /dev/capi20
and in /etc/hylafax/config.faxCAPI:
FaxReceiveUser:         uucp
and user uucp is a member of groups "dialout" (for access to CAPI and
tty devices) and "shadow" (for user authentication I think).
The HylaFAX processes are running as user uucp.
