Ummm, well, I don't think a race condition in the host could crash the
modem...

The only thing that I could imagine is an attempt to dial out and an
incoming RING in the same second (millisecond?) - that could confuse the
modem. Though I don't think so...

My experience lately has been that sometimes the modem seems to lower CTS
if an incoming call fails, but doesn't lower DCD or so - the process hangs
on the port and doesn't get a SIGHUP until I swtich off the modem. Did not
yet find the time to investigate more closely.
