I just install the latest 2.2 SNAP and noticed that
kermit cant access the modem but ecu can.

My modem is at /dev/ttyd1.

Also Hylafax can receive faxes but cant sent them.
It looks like a permission problem somewhere.  Something
is preventing hylafax and kermit from dialing out whereas
ecu just hits /dev/ttyd1 directly.  I am running all 3 as
root.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
