Hallo,

I am nou using Linux for about 8 months and previously could not get
fax software running on my Debian-system.  I tried again last night
and enjoyed more success than previous times trying to get efax
running using a Zoltrix 14400 modem.

When I tried "fax send -m foo" as user, I received the following error
message.

efax: removed stale lock /var/lock/LCK..ttyS3 from pid 373
efax: Error: tty device open
/dev/ttyS3:Permission denied
efax: done, returning 2

I then (as su) typed 
  
  chmod u+rw /dev/ttyS3

but it did not help.

When I run the fax command as su the there is no similar problem: 

efax: removed stale lock /var/lock/LCK..ttyS3 from pid 416
efax: opened /dev/ttyS3

ls /dev/ttyS3 produces


rcrw-rw----   1 root     tty        4,  67 Apr 30 09:05 /dev/ttyS3



Can somebody help me please.  


Johann
