This has always been a pain for me since systems often call (long distance) while I'm checking the file systems. This evening I discovered a simple little trick to drop DTR which works on my 2.3 system: stty 0 -hupcl < /dev/ttynn where "nn" is the port you want to nuke. I hope someone else finds this useful.
