I am running a Unisys U6000/50 (a Convergent machine with iAPX386 V.3.2).  We
have two Telebit T2500's configured with uugetty.  A small annoyance has
popped up when using cu to dial out when one of the modems has recently
received an inbound call.
  Watching the front-panel lights on the T2500, we notice that DTR gets left
high after the inbound call disconnects.  Hitting the modem with cu will
result in a pause and eventually an "Unable to connect to device" type
message.  However, a SECOND cu at this point will work!  We note that when the
first cu times out, DTR will drop, which then allows cu #2 to make a
connection.
  I don't want to unecessarily post all of my settings, gettydefs, and inittab
entries.  Can anyone give me some ideas without this information?  If need be,
I can put up the full configuration.
