Has anyone else had this problem? I'd like to be able to use the
address stack's "autodial" feature, since I have a modem conveniently
connected to my mac, and I like how smart it is about dealing with
exchanges and area codes, but it has one fatal flaw: It drops DTR on
the serial port before the modem has finished dialing. This causes the
modem to abort.

I could set the DIP switch on my modem which causes it to ignore DTR,
but I am not willing to sacrifice this feature; I like being able to
hang up by dropping DTR.

Does anyone know if this problem has been fixed, or if there is a way
to patch it?
