We are getting the same DTR dropping behavior here, only we didn't switch
modems.  When I upgraded to Ultrix 2.0 *ONE* of my two Hayes 2400's started
cycling DTR.  The other Hayes 2400 (and both of the Hayes 1200's) still work
fine.

I am getting a message periodically in the /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog file:

Oct 19 04:37:22 localhost: getty: /dev/ttyd2: Address already in use
Oct 19 04:52:24 localhost: getty: /dev/ttyd2: Address already in use
Oct 19 05:20:16 localhost: getty: /dev/ttyd2: Address already in use
    [many, many similar lines omitted -- AZ]
Oct 19 14:29:52 localhost: getty: /dev/ttyd2: Address already in use
Oct 19 14:48:09 localhost: getty: /dev/ttyd2: Address already in use

There are no duplicate (major/minor) devices in the /dev directory.

Atlanta Customer Support is currently working on it but nothing yet.
