Fine, it's enlightening to see people are using this feature. :-)

I'm not sure, does a ``stty 0'' also lower DTR? If so, the following
script should do it:
#!/bin/sh
stty -f ${TTY} 0
sleep 10
stty -f ${TTY} 38400
You'll get the picture. Run this as the `redial command'.
If it doesn't work this way, put it into a few lines of C code.
