Sirs Having used the 'faxsrv-Mini-HOWTO' to configure efax on Mandrake 8.2, I lost my modem. I followed the instructions to the letter and on calling up my modem, the message was 'Error : can't open serial port /dev/modem: is a directory'.
The problem seems to be with the /dev/modem file. My modem is on ttyS1 and I performed the following:- ls -lL /dev/modem rm /dev/modem mknod /dev/modem c 5 65 chmod 666 /dev/modem Is this correct? Is there any other manual available, apart from the 'Mini-How To'. Has anyone any ideas on setting up 'efax' please? Malcolm Candlish.
