I forgot to add that this was a cable link - no modem. Maybe this was 
unclear - the whole setup was as follows:

	+--------+                     +----------+
	|FreeBSD/|  RS232 without DTR  |A station |
	|Win 3.11|=====================|          |
	+--------+ DB25           DB25 +----------+

So I think that as long as I have both ends electrically connected the 
DCD is always on. In fact, I checked this with a small device that shows 
level of every line of RS232 (two connectors with set of LEDs).

Anyway, thanks for these suggestions.

Andy
