check out the serial howto, there's a reason why Linux is supplied with
both ttyS? and cua? devices, I can never remember which is which, but one
can break the priority for the other and dial out or something. also if
memory servs, mgetty responds quite quickly to a tiny semaphore file you
can have your script create and delete and release the port for dialouts
when needed.
