Yeah... set the modem up correctly (AT&D2) and drop DTR.
The DTR will be dropped automatically when the last close ossurs
as long as you are using a modem control dialing port (that is,
stty -clocal hupcl).
Sounds like your modem is irrationally asserting DCD when remote
carrier isn't present or your modem is ignoring on-to-off DTR
transition.
