Re: Sharing Fax and Data line



Hi,
Short question:
which device uses ppp to dial out? 
If it uses /dev/modem or /dev/cua1 that is the problem.
It must use /dev/ttyS1 if it shall coexist with HylaFAX 
cause otherwise device locking will fail, resulting in HylaFAX
reinitialising the modem and killing your ppp-process....
hope this helps
Christoph
