Re: help on configuring to receive faxes



> mo:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/modem

Very first step:   rm /dev/modem

Then fix up anything that tries to use /dev/modem to use the real name for
the port.  Unless absolutely everything uses /dev/modem, you will get
device locking failures and it is even possible that you are already running
a getty on the modem port by another name.

You should also not use cua*, but existing usage may force you to use that
one to be consistent with other applications.  The official line is that
ttyS* should be use exclusively for all serial line applications in 
modern Linuxes and there are plans to delete cua*.
