I couldn't remember if it was DTR asserted or de-asserted that caused
that, and since my Telebit Worldblazer was hanging up so fast I
thought it was DTR being set the wrong way.

What it really was, was command echo and modem responses causing getty
to put out a login prompt on the RING output of the modem.

Do you know of a way to make getty unresponsive until DCD comes up?
I turned off all responses from the modem, but if I need to use cu
on it it's a bit of a pain to have to remember what the code is to
get command echo and response turned on again (and type it blind)

Perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to add another key to gettytab...
Do you think that would be accepted if I filed a patch in a PR?
Or should I just not bother...

Did that, so I don't really need the modem to reset, but I thought I'd
do it anyway just to be safe.
