I have a 32bis supra fax modem and am using ZyXEL fax driver.
After a couple of tries, it seemed to send a fax --- CD and FX
signs appeared on its display for a minute or so.  Then, it 
went into Auto Answer mode.  The problem is that I cannot
reclaim the serial port.  I rebooted the system while the modem is off.
(I took off the fax using PrintManager too, but still no effect.)
But, the serial port (/dev/cua or /dev/cufa) are busy.
I checked /usr/spool/uucp/LCK, but there was no lock file either.

How can I reclaim the serial port?  Please reply to yu@cs.utexas.edu

Many thanks in advance.

Yeong
