In my reply to your original posting, I talked about using cu.  I've
since tried using kermit, (which won't use the uppercase modem port
here either), and uucico does remove the lockfile, but then dies
without disturbing my connection.  I always use the uppercase tty
version when dialing out with cu with no problems.  I have modified
my "dial" program for use with an error correcting - compressing modem,
but that shouldn't make a difference since dial is only invoked to do
the actual dialing.  I'm using kermit 4E070 here also.
