This may not solve your problem, but it worked for me when I had
trouble trying to use the modem device and the direct device at
the same time (I've since hacked in the dialin/out support into
my device driver).

My devices were named:
	com1
	com1m
And I had the same trouble as you do with the lock files.  So I
took advantage of a System V 'feature' - 14 character file names.
I renamed the devices:
	xxxxxcom1
	xxxxxcom1m
Then, when the lock files get created by prepending 'LCK..' to the
device name, both lock files end up with the same name.

The best solution, though, is to apply steady pressure to the UNIX
vendor to incorporate the dialin/out hacks into the device driver.
