What I want to know about the lockfile convention is how does it relate
to a bidirectional getty.  In other words:

        1)      Is there a getty that will honor the lock and
                allow one to dial out on the same serial port
                that getty currently has open?

        2)      What does *that* getty expect in terms of lockfile
                conventions?
