I don't understand this, as the child process (vm shell egetty.pl) is
supposed to inherit the lock file from the parent (faxgetty).  Check the
pid of the lock file against the pid of the egetty.  What system/distro 
are you trying to set this up on? I've never seen a ttySL0 before.
Could there be a stale lock file left over from another process, such as
minicom?
