Maybe I should have explained the problem better in my original message: When a user called via modem (their are using the bash shell), once the user finished his/her session and they type 'exit' to disconnect... The system will not hang up the modem, it will return to the login prompt. I want BSD to lower DTR and disconnect the modem instead of going back to the login prompt. - Jason.
