Hi, I'm trying to setup Hylafax on a Woody server and the documentation states that the following should work

hyla% cu -l ttyf2
Connected
at+fclass=?
0,1,2
OK
~[hyla].
Disconnected

However when I run

cu -l ttyS04

I get

cu: open (/dev/ttyS0): Permission denied
cu: ttyS0: Line in use

I don't understand this because probemodem runs successfully and fuser shows no sign that any processes are using the modem. I am logged on as root so there shouldn't be any permissions problems.

Does anyone have any input for me?
 
Have you looked at the permissions on the device file? Sure sounds like it.
