Any ideas as to how to get DTR to drop when
I log off with cntrl-d (getty running in att universe).
"stty 0" will drop the connection, however cntrl-d doesn't.

I thought this was a bug, but it turns out to be a feature. The port DOES disconnect properly, UNLESS a user process is still running in the background. (I was running a mail check demon in the background.) RTOC says the tty is not closed, so the HUPCL (hang-up-on-close) does not apply. It may be a feature, but is not consistent with other machines I have worked with. A quirk I can live with. -- Greg
