sms_client Problem - Modem Locked?

[Stover, Beth]

Hi Doug,

 

I don't have lsof installed.  I've tried rebooting the server, but I
still get the same error.

Beth:

You might try using the command: lsof /dev/xxxx 
xxx is your modem line.  The command should give you what it thinks is
using your modem device.

All else fails, you recycle the machine, you might have a program
running your not aware of and this might kill it off.

Hi,
 
I tried posting to the sms_client user group, but no response.  I'm
hoping someone can help me here.
 
My sms alerts stopped working a few days ago.  When I try to run it from
the command line, I get the following error:
 

/usr/local/etc/sms (root) $ sms_client 1111111111'testing'

Dialing SMSC 2222222222...

Another program is using the modem.

Waiting...

There's a lock file in the modem lock directory, but it's empty:

/var/lock/LCK..cuaa4
I'm using Freebsd ver 4.4 and sms_client 2.0.8y.
 
Can someone help?
