I have the same problem, but I am using the Megaport 24-port card.  I
set up the port for modem control, and modem control does in fact work
on incoming calls as evidenced by the fact that hanging up from the
remote end logs out the caller.

But on outgoing calls, I must always do a ~. to get out.  It's not a
modem configuration problem, as unplugging the cable to the modem
(thereby definitely dropping CD and DSR) still doesn't end the cu(1)
session.

Maybe I will try the new 2.0 drivers from Equinox and see if they
resolve it.
