I am posting this query for a friend ... please excuse if the jargon
is inappropriate ...

We are looking for a program in MACRO to drop DTR on tty lines for
two seconds and then raise it again. The reason we are looking is
that we have been having problems with people using modems who do
a disconnect before logging out, and the system leaves their login
connected to the modem line for the next person who uses it (i.e.
the next person who uses the modem gets the previous users login
session).

Replies by mail please, unless you think this problem is of general
enough interest to splash all over the net.

Thanks in advance, jas
