Did you actually try Igor's suggestion? You may need to create a real /dev directory. After adding the symbolic link efax may be able to correctly open the modem. Note that Cygwin's devices are virtual, so you don't actually need a real /dev/ttyS0 file.
ja!!! it works nicely, thought there are some warnings, but I've sent a fax and it's perfect! Thank you!!!
PS sorry if I didn't undertsand the suggestion at first. Thank you again.......!!
Igor was pointing out that it isn't just Cygwin that efax doesn't port to directly, since /dev/modem doesn't necessarily exist.
efax had the -d option to point to some other device, or you can specify it in a config file... I don't see this as a portability problem....
