I think the rationale is that there might not be a connection yet.
Since the server does not not make the first move (i.e. initiate any
i/o), there is no need for the connection to be open when the server
starts. For example, before you go home from work, you can do something
like this:
set line /dev/cua
set speed 57600
set flow rts/cts
server
and then later you can call it from home. Of course, you can also take
a more formal approach:
set line /dev/cua
set speed 57600
set flow rts/cts
answer ; Wait for a call to come in
if success server ; Only then, enter server mode
