supra's won't answer when the dtr is low... I know this as I have a modem 
that is specially set up then when reset turns autoanswer on... and when 
atz it will turn it off... nice if you want to run both mgetty and getty 
with out having to modify either config and it doesn't answer the 
phone when dtr is low...  I guess this is a reason to buy a name brand 
modem like Supra...
