I'm currently relying on the fact that I CAN lower/raise the DTR line via the
CIA that is connected to the Serial port that is standard in the
500/1000/2000.. Is there a "Better" way to do the same thing that doesn't
rely on the CIA or which port you might be using...?? Such as the "Default" or
"built-in" or "1st extended" ports (as defined by Bryce Nesbit of C-A).. It
would certainly be NICE to have a "pseudo" standardization... All I know is
that if a modem is connected to ANY of these serial ports, it really does suck
when the ONLY way to hang up the phone is by doing the "+++ <cr> ATH0 <cr>"
junk!  Dropping the DTR is a much more effective way of doing things....
