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.
