Or even expect version 5.14. But I imagine echo or cat > /dev/cuaXX
would be more than enough. You could put these commands in your rc
files and have your machine set the proper settings on each bootup.

Sure. Make certain that AT&D2 or AT&D3 (whatever your modem supports)
is also in your modem's default NVRAM settings. This should tell your
modem to pay attention to the DTR signal (and also reset and hangup
the phone when DTR goes from on to off). When your system's down, DTR
should be off, and your modem shouldn't answer the phone.

Euyuck! I thought I worked at the last site that still had
Interactive systems ... with the old Kodak logo on the manuals. :-)

I bet when the Neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would
always end up saying, "Don't forget the thick, heavy brows." Then they
would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big
hunky brows too, and they'd get mad and eat the snowman.
