- It *shouldn't* drop DTR while swapping, but on some systems, it *does*.
- Its like the way the serial interface is implemented, there is some
- interupt that has to be serviced to raise the DTR line constantly, but if
- there is a higher priority interrupt going on, it can't do this. If the
- higher priority interrupt is longer than the 0.5s (default) time that DTR
- has to drop to hangup the modem, they get hung up.

- As for connecting v.34, note that you were connecting to a *USR* Courier
- with no problem. I said the problem occurs when trying to get the USR to
- connect to *other brands* and meant that when the Vi connects to another
- brand of modem with v.34, it is almost never with error correction.
- Sometimes it doesn't even get error correction connecting to other
- sportsters, but that is the exception, not the rule.

- Thats wierd, on ours the problem with the &F1 profile fixed by S56=0 is
- that it defaults to have shaping disabled (S56=16), not v.FC disabled.
- This default does lessen the chance of getting a successful v.34
- connection, but even with that fixed, it usually doesn't connect v.34
- successfully to non-USR modems.
