The driver tracks carrier in TS_CARR_ON and the modem hardware state
independent of CLOCAL and controlling terminalness. TS_CARR_ON can't be
seen by normal processes but can be seen by snooping in kmem, e.g., by
pstat. The driver is careful to NOT set TS_CONNECTED or clear TS_ZOMBIE
when carrier rises, since that would defeat the whole point of
TS_ZOMBIE, which is to stop the next call from being answered by the
current session if the session leader somehow survives the SIGHUP.

No, for a SIGHUP to be sent, CLOCAL must be clear and the line must be
a controlling process.
slattach could simply poll for hangup like /usr/bin/sppp, e.g.,
assert(not_a_controlling_terminal_here);
for (;;) {
int mstate;
sleep(2);
if (ioctl(fd, TIOCMGET, &mstate) != 0 || !(mstate & TIOCM_CD))
break;
}
/*
* XXX in !CLOCAL mode, we would have to close and reopen the tty
* since POSIX says that the tty can't be used after the connection
* is broken. This is inconvenient, and since we check carrier
* directly, we don't need !CLOCAL mode.
*/
assert(in_CLOCAL_mode);
goto start;
except there is a race: the TIOCM_CD bit isn't sticky, so transient changes
of it might be missed.
