I don't know about your system, but it don't work on mine -- Zaiz SYSV.2 on a
DSI-32 in a Compaq Deskpro. CU just sits and waits for CD until I force it true manually.
I think this trick only works if your dialing in, not out.
Secondly, getty -c doesn't like -CLOCAL.  Says it's undefined. Thirdly, it wouldn't
do any good anyway cause if you had to fake CD in the first place, how you gonna know
when the carrier drops ???
