	Locks on modems are traditionally done by placing a lock file
with the device name in /usr/spool/uucp, named LCK..dev, so a lock for
a modem hooked up to /dev/ttyd1 would be LCK..ttyd1

	Other versions of uucp may have a separate lock directory or
naming scheme other than Ultrix' - Ultrix' uucp is a little closer to
uucp's ancestral roots.

	As far as pcomm, etc goes, I can't help you. When I need to get
Vt100 emulation, I run "vtem" - a Vt100 emulator, on top of tip.
