This should be unnecessary. HylaFAX and uucp and kermit and tip and
minicom and pppd should all be looking in the same directory for the
same style of lock files: this is /var/lock on Linux, /var/spool/locks
on SunOS, etc.

Try running each program and seeing where and what kind of lock file it
generates: these really should interoperate.
