- Yes. It's been told not to. Either it's been sent a command like &D0
- (DTR override - don't hangup on DTR drop): and/or there's a dipswitch
- somewhere to control this (as on the Sportster).

- send &D0 when using AmiTCP & slip: else the modem hangs up after
- connecting and before the next script gets slip etc running.
