	Ok, that's what I thought.  That is completely  unacceptable 
	for modem dial-in use.  What happens when a modem user loses
	their line for some reason and another person calls in on 
	the same one?  Because CD is not working, the shell is still
	active on that line, and the new user is right in the middle
	of the old users login.  Makes things kinda rough when the
	original user was su'd to root and doing sysadmin thingies.
	I hope no one is running dialups on a port configured
	for direct connect..
