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?
