Your modem should also have some sort of way for you to set
the "Ignore DTR" mode with an "AT" command. On my modem, a 
Hayes-compatible Practical Peripherals PM2400SA, the command to 
ignore dtr is "AT&D0," which translates to the following command
in Hypertalk:

     dial "1-408-555-1212" with modem "AT&D0DT"

The line will send the modem the command to tone-dial the number
and ignore DTR. If the above command fails, check yuor modem's
manual for a similar string. Perhaps one of the S registers will
meet your needs.
