Well, mgetty shouldn't lock the port while waiting for a connection,
but should give up the port when a dialout connection is made.

inittab says

s1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1

/etc/mgetty/mgetty.config has a "port ttyS1" section.
/etc/ppp/peers/isp says /dev/ttyS1 too (configured with pppconfig).


thanks,
