	"enable tty1A" --> notice the uppercase which signifies
	the modem control line.

	since that did not work, check you modem switches to use
	DTR -- my telebit will enable/disable with out exception
	but my usrobotics microlink (internal courier) usually
	needs to be used after enabling for the first time (after
	a cold boot) -- for me i use "enable tty2A" then i must
	use the "cu" command once to call someone one that port.
