I think it is a problem with VLT, the 68030, and modem0.device.  VLT will
hang itself, and eventually the machine, if I try to send a break out the
Supra 2400zi.  Also, for hanging up VLT first tries to drop DTR, and if that
doesn't work it falls back to +++ATH.

I've never tried to run any sort of getty on my machine, but I have the
same trouble.
