Hi,

The reason I included that one is because my system did not create 
ttyS1. I thought that all those files are related somehow. I figured 
that if you have your ttyS1 for your serial device that it would write a 
corresponding file to event file. That makes it interesting even though 
the distributions are different the files are similar. I will edit mine 
tty1 and try to start that warlock faxgetty deamon.

Thanks again,

Ramon
