While MicroPhone cracks locks, and was put in for EXACTLY this reason, we don't  
recommend cracking locks on a regular basis. When using, MicroPhone, we allow  
you to use connection drivers to cleanly open ports. This allows you to put  
script commands in to cleanly remove the lock, either by turning the modem off  
with our new fax connection driver, or if all that's necessary is to manually  
remove the lock, then put in the script command File Delete  
"/usr/spool/uucp/LCK/LCK..cua".
