Re: flexfax: faxaddmodem problem on Solaris 2.6

I have solved my problem!

The port monitor ttymon was running for /dev/cua/b port. I disabled the port,
and was able to
run faxaddmodem.
This is already documented in Solaris Guidance section in Server Setup and Basic
Configuration
Information posted on Hylafax website. Only I failed to notice this section
before.

The faxaddmodem script fails during the hylafax installation with the
following error:

Probing for best speed to talk to modem:
 38400/opt/local/fax/lib/faxaddmodem[808]: /tmp/addmodem6212: cannot open
 19200/opt/local/fax/lib/faxaddmodem[808]: /tmp/addmodem6212: cannot open

Unable to deduce DTE-DCE speed; check that you are using the
correct device and/or that your modem is setup properly.  If
all else fails, try the -s option to lock the speed.

I am using hylafax-v4.0p12 version under Solaris 2.6 platform with gcc 2.7.2 and
US Robotics V. Everything modem. I have configured /dev/cua/b serial
port . I am able to get the cu and tip commands working with /dev/cua/b device.
cu -l /dev/cua/b <phone no.> works fine. I am able to dial out.

I have run the faxsetup script. It has started hfaxd and faxq processes. But it
fails
in the faxaddmodem script with the above mentioned error. I tried to debug the
faxaddmodem script, and it seems like /dev/cua/b device is busy, and in
SendToModem function ondelay doesn;t create the temporary file
 /tmp/addmodem6212. Any idea why /dev/cua/b device is busy?
