   I have been having the same problem with V/386 3.0e. When I go to single
 user mode to do system backups the DTR goes out for a moment and then
 comes right back on. Likewise, I have a Hayes SM2400 thats used for 
 outgoing calls only. After using CU, the DTR will remain on. I tried the
 above command and it acted like single-user mode; the DTR went out breifly
 and then came back on. However, I tried simply "stty 0 < /dev/ttynn"
 and this turned of DTR and it stayed off! Thanks for the tip. I'll be
 using this during backups to avoid unwanted calls.
