Please edit sendfax.config to /dev/ttyS1 odr /dev/ttyS0.
That's all.

When I connect to a machine on my internal Fax (I use something
similar to your Eumex) I have to tell the modem something like
faxspool \!3 /tmp/test.t
3 is the internal Fax-Number ! means flash-key for the modem
(Erdtaste) and the backslash is needed to escape the ! sign.

*If* you need to use ! for the modem, you should edit faxspool:
if expr "$phone" : "[-0-9!TtPpW,;]*$" >/dev/null ; then
to include the sign ! as a valid Fax-Number.

Good luck.
