Version 2.2 (and, I assume, later ones as well) provide for bi-directional
use of the same com port.  It's well explained in the UUCP section of the
(I think) _User Guide_.  Basically, 'uucico' and 'cu' are smart enough
(when a port is "enabled" for login) to kill the getty and "disable" the
port whenever dialing out is initiated; getty is restarted once the call
is completed.  Works great.
