Your previous messages indicate that you are use txfax, so why are you 
configuring FAX modems?

If you really want FAX modems, because you are trying to work with 
HylaFAX, Windows FAX, or some other FAX server which talks to FAX 
modems, the setup is a little different between Linux and Windows. 
Windows doesn't have a direct equivalent to a Linux PTY, so you need to 
install com0com, which gives you some back-to-back virtual com ports. 
The details for that are in the wiki.
