There should be an easy solution to this one!


If I stick a getty on a modem,  dial into it, then drop carrier it
doesn't KILL all the processes.  I can completely disconnect the modem
cable and all the process are just sitting there.  

I'm thinking it can't be a hardware problem.  How can I tell if the com
drivers are sending the Terminate Signals to the processes?

Any ideas would be appreciated!
