Probing for best speed to talk to modem: 38400 19200 9600 4800 2400 1200
Unable to deduce DTE-DCE speed; check that you are using the
correct device and/or that your modem is setup properly. If
all else fails, try the -s option to lock the speed.
faxserver:/home/xxx# faxaddmodem
Serial port that modem is connected to [ttyS0]? ttyS3

You are correct. faxaddmodem leaves a lock file in a var/lock/
I run this again.
faxserver:/home/xxx# faxaddmodem
Serial port that modem is connected to [ttyS0]? ttyS3
Sorry, the device is currently in use by another program.
faxserver:/home/xxxx# rm /var/lock/LCK..ttyS3
faxserver:/home/xxxx# faxaddmodem
Serial port that modem is connected to [ttyS0]? ttyS3
Ok, time to setup a configuration file for the modem. The manual
page config(5) may be useful during this process. Also be aware
that at any time you can safely interrupt this procedure.
........
Removing the lock worked.
So next time I run a faxaddmodem.
faxserver:/home/xxxx# cat /var/lock/LCK..ttyS3
7572
faxserver:/home/xxxx# ps -A |grep 7572
7572 pts/3 00:00:00 faxaddmodem
But when its done.
faxserver:/home/xxxx# ps -A |grep 7572
faxserver:/home/xxxx# cat /var/lock/LCK..ttyS3
7572
The lock stays.
Thanks a lot,
Lucas
