But forcing DTR on will screw up my BBS program!  I don't want to have
to open the modem up to flip a DIP switch everytime I change programs!
I still say it should be configurable.  Or make it a "define"able
option.  Sometimes I want DTR left on so that I can switch to a different
program without having to redial and relogin.
