You can't do this. I tried and failed when I was doing the HDB port. There
are 2 problems:

1) You have to create a lock file so that uugetty knows it's been locked
out of using the line.

2) Only one process can have a ph port open at a time - things get really
confused and the second process just hangs forever on a read.
