I like to have UUPoll, a poller for UUPC running in the 
Windows background at all times.

If I'm running another comm program, and UUPoll makes a
call, Windows reports device contention on the comm port.

Under OS/2, you can indicate that an application locks the
comm port, so that a second program is denied its use.

Can I do something similar in Windows?  I don't like to see
the device contention message -- I'd like UUPoll NOT to 
get use of the comm port until I'm done with the other program.
