Problems with modems and emacs

[Xev Gittler]

I'm having a bit of a problem with my 4.3 system and my modems, and I
was hoping someone knew a fix. 

We get people who dial into our system, play around a while, get into
emacs, and just hang up without logging off. The modem hangs up, and
their shell is killed, but emacs is still hanging around, and dtr
doesn't come back up on the modems. I'm not sure if this is a problem
exclusively in emacs, but that is the only place that I have noticed
it. Does anyone have any ideas?
