Extensive experimentation was done within the AT&T UNIX support group
on this issue a while back.  I don't have a copy of what they finally
came up with, but the best was pretty ugly, involving sending modem
reset AT codes to the modem within the login string inside /etc/gettydefs.
It did work ok, except (something like) the first incoming call after
an outgoing call would get dropped immediately.

Rumor has it that SVR3.1 uucp will have provision for ignoring the CD
lead selectively within the Devices and Dialers files, so modems like
the Hayes will work just fine.
