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. Igor was pointing out that it isn't just Cygwin that efax doesn't port to directly, since /dev/modem doesn't necessarily exist. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
