HELP modem locks (hardware lock) since new linux upgrade
OS: Linux 1.2.10 (debian)
fax: hylafax-linux-v3.0pl0
I have had Hylafax for quit a while.
It has been working, my dialout/hylafax share the modem.
both are using the software lock /var/lock/LCK..modem.
I have done several upgrades to my system (debian distribution).
I DID not make any changes to the HYLAFAX software or setup.
Now as soon as faxgetty starts. I cannot access the modem.
if I try dip or minicom I get the same response
Cannot open /dev/modem. Sorry.
Even though no software lock a present
When I type setserial /dev/cua1 (/dev/modem)
I get
/dev/cua1: Device or resource busy
1. What went wrong, the same faxgetty software before the upgrade did not
used to lock the modem indefinitely.
2. How I can remove this hardware lock.
3. Does any one knows how can I isolate the source of the problem.
Any help will be appreciate.
-Thanks
Oz
