You are exactly correct. Both programs MUST use the same device name, si=
nce
the lock file name is based on the device name. Change your PPP setup to=
use
/dev/ttyS1, or your Hylafax setup to /dev/modem. I prefer the explicit d=
evice
name, since then there's no possible confusion about which device is bein=
g
used. However, some people like using the symbolic link /dev/modem --> =
/dev/ttyS1
