I had a problem here that was very similar with a PASSWORD modem.  It seem
there is a switch that will tie DTR high in the normal case.  You have to
turn it off.  Check a manual on your modem to see if you have such a switch.

In a related problem, now that I have done this to my modem (connected
to a VAX on a DH), I can't use the thing to call out.  I can't force
DTR to go high, so the modem is non-available except when someone calls.
I'd like the modem to hang up when someone else hangs up, but would like
to use the same line to call out (the inout feature in newer uucp's).
Anyone with a PASSWORD in a similar configuration that has solved this?
If so, could you let me know what you did?
