'lock' is one of the options that diald claims must not be given to pppd if
diald is to work correctly.

>From the diald man page:

      Note that some pppd commands should not be specified, not even in the
      /etc/ppp/options file, because they will interfere with the proper
      operation of diald.  In particular you should not specify the tty
      device, the baud rate, nor any of the options crtscts, xonxoff,
      -crtscts, defaultroute, lock, netmask, -detach, modem, local, mtu and
      proxyarp.  Use the equivalent diald commands to control these pppd
      settings.
