This is not true.  What you need to do is substitute a new getty for
that line which understands the lock files created by the dial-out
programs (uucp, cu, tip...) and stops looking at the line until the lock
file disappears.  I have been using such a program with a Hayes modem
with no problems.  The program is a stripped down version of a more
general-purpose getty posted to comp.unix.sources a few months back.
