Just a little note, which may or may not help:
I use a Creatix VFi 14.4, an internal modem, also IRQ5, with Rockwell
chipset, together mith the excellent mgetty/sendfax package and Linux
2.0.29. Instead of using cua2 I use ttyS2, as the docs in mgetty told me
so (I think its a difference in how the lock-files are made), and I have
not recognized the above problems. So maybe ttyS2 may help?

hope this helps,
	Martin
