- Dropping DTR to terminate the connection is used as a "failsafe" of
- sorts. Especially when working with BBS software, mailers, and other
- such things you can't always be sure that the baud rate isn't messed
- up. I've had the "fun" of trying to find the baud rate that the
- modem somehow goot set to once too often.
-
- So you need an "out of band" means off dropping the connection.
