Since the Mac's RTS and DTR lines are, in fact, the same line, you cannot
use both together, so the modem should be set for DTR Normal and the init
string should be set for &D0 (ignore DTR). This is when set up for
hardware handshaking, wit the proper cable. This will allow RTS to
function normally.
