	I do too.  I don wanna no daemon process cluttering up my
process list!!  The SIMPLEST way to avoid DTR drop is to open up your
modem and flip the DIP switch that forces DTR ready.  On Hayes-type
and most Hayes-compatible modems it is easy to do this.  I run my
Avatex modem with DTR forced up all the time, and it causes no
problems; I can even reset my Amiga and run ANY terminal program
(not just the vt100 emulator) and continue to talk to my modem.
I suggest those of your pleading for this to check your modem manual
for how to force DTR high.  I think you'll find most modems have this
feature.
