Considering my observations, there are some (well, let's say could be) some
race conditions with may disturb the modem: some interaction between
incoming calls and lowering/raising DTR due to (computer-)internal
operations because some process just gave up/needed the modem.

If the CTS(and DTR)-Led tells the truth about the signal line, then that's 
not the case with me, but I have to fully support your last sentence ;-> No
time yet.
