Comment(by pgf):

 minicom does tty locking in /var/lock/lockdev
 picocom does tty locking in /var/lock/picocom
 pppd does tty locking in /var/lock/pppd
 screen does no locking whatever.  smart choice.
 why can't we all just get along?  bah.

 powerd will soon check for USB tty locks in both /var/lock and /var/lock/*
