To the person who does not want the modem line to drop when he
exits Procomm:

It's not too hard to hardwire this.  I have done it on a serial
port card and I imagine it's just as easy with a modem card.  Cut
the trace to DTR (data terminal ready) which tells the modem you
want it to hold the phone line.  Then ground it.  I did it with a
piece of thin wire.

I like terminal programs that don't drop DTR.

Also, if you are handy at disassembling, (which I certainly am not)
you could find the OUT command which drops DTR and replace it with
NOPs.  If you are interested in finding out what these statements
might look like, I may be able to look it up for you.
