DTR or CD?  That makes running a BBS from it a little hard then it need be.
The best way to hang up on people that exceed thier time limit is to drop
DTR on them.... of course you also want to detect CD so you know when someone
hangs up on you.  I would hate to be forced into using the modem command set
to hang up or be forced to use timeouts to try and detect someone hangup on
the BBS.  In other words,  I hope it is not giving me a choice between DTR or 
CD but rather lets me have both.
