	In this case, I think the serial driver was done right.  Most modems
have switch selectable forced DTR (Well, at least My UsRobotics does.) which
solves the problem quite nicely.  Still, if C-A wanted to be nit-picky I
suppose they could add a 'keep DTR on close' flag to the serial parameters.
Frankly, I think C-A has more important things to worry about.

	For example, when you are trying to backtrace from your current
directory to find the path from root, the RAM: device's FileInfoBlock's
name string is set to "" rather than "RAM" (1.2 Beta 4).  DF0 and DF1's
FIB's are set to the volume name correctly.

	For another example, the RAM: device does not support comment fields
for files (not that I use them anyway).  Frankly, and since it is not 
completely supported on all disk devices, I think C-A should replace the
storage taken up by the comment field with something more useful.
