[hylafax-users] Stupid serial port problem

[Ross Vandegrift <ross@willow.seitz.com>]

Hello all,

	I've got to have the worst luck in getting serial ports working
of anyone in the whole world.  I've got hylafax up and running on
/dev/ttyS0 and everything works nicely.  Now, I want to add another
modem, at /dev/ttyS1.  I hook up the cable, run setserial with the right
parameters, and minicom works....

But it's talking to the modem on /dev/ttyS0!  Yes, I can access the
modem on /dev/ttyS0 by opening /dev/ttyS1.  In fact, I can even use 
/ttyS2 and 3 to access the original modem.  No amount of swapping serial
cards has fixed this problem - it seems to be a software thing.
(setserial info at the bottom)

If I try to use both ttyS0 and ttyS1 at the same time (ie, start
faxgetty on both ports), hylafax reports that /dev/ttyS1 is wedged and
needs manual intervention.

I've rebooted and checked that the hardware is good: Telix, under DOS,
can access both modems perfectly.

setserial autoconfig and auto_irq don't seem to help at all.

Anyone have any clue as to what might be wrong?
