Which version of HylaFAX are you using, and did you compile *HylaFAX*
to use /var/lock with ascii or binary lock files as appropriate to your
software?

Remember also: all these devices have to be configured to use the same
lock files and tty lines to interact. This means you cannot use
/dev/ttyE0 in one place, /dev/modem in another, and expect them to
interact correctly.
