Enclosed, part of the gettydefs file from my system.  Note especially
the -CLOCAL notation.  This tells the system this is a modem line and
will correctly reset CD and DTR.  Took me months to figure this out.

Both lines of entry should (probably for a 386, too) have entries,
since someone may hang up or get bumped before they are actually in
the system.  You might also try using 6 in the gettydefs file (9600)
rather than 'm'.  Make sure to change your /etc/ttytype and /etc/terms
file to reflect the changes.

Good luck....
