They should all just use appropriate locking, shouldn't they? mgetty
is another (rather specific) phone-line monitoring program that seems
to handle this well.
If you have multiple programs listening on the same port, there's no
way to tell which will successfully get the lock, but at least only
one will get it at a time.
