Since this requires to listen on a port that hasn't detected the
carrier yet.

This, in turn, causes another mess of other things, causing me to

Perhaps this opinion might change if we sometimes implement ``early
carrier detect'' by (optionally) using the (hardware) Ring Indicator
for this as opposed to DCD.
