I'm not gonna get into discussions about optimistic vs pessimistic locking nor about holding locks whilst carrying out i/o with the user...
When we used to have a telnet based application we used to log the user name at an application level so we could then read in the user name who had the record locked to display a message saying something like "Waiting for record to be release by FRED BLOGGS"... The user is then informed who he needs to contact, rather than a bland "port no".... I see no point in messaging the other user... either he is a) intentionally updating the record, or b) has left it on screen whilst he's gone to the coffee machine.....
