I've had the same problem with two different modems, and in both cases
'stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal' didn't do the trick.  Instead I had to change
some settings in the modem registers so they would handle DTR recognition
properly.  Nate is correct, in most cases setting CLOCAL will likely fix
the problem.  But if it doesn't, try playing with your modem configuration.

Hope this helps,
