Greetings...

	This is a post relating to 386bsd 0.1 + patchkit 2.4...  

	I'd just like to find out whether anybody's had time to patch
the sio serial driver to make it drop DTR for about a second of so after
a comm port is closed?  (to ensure that the modem drops the carrier
after a dialout is done)

	I'm just wondering whether I missed the post while I was on
vacation (I'd greatly appreciate a patch). I seem to remember Guido
saying he'd look into this...

PS. If nobody has had time to look at it, I'll do it.
PPS. If this is fixed in FreeBSD, it will probably be enough to get me 
     to upgrade!
PPPS. Ah heck!  I'll probably upgrade anyway when Nate gets his upgrade
      script done.
