modem crashes, WAS Re: Black List... is hanging ZyXEL now

   Occasionally, the modem will go catatonic, and neither DTR drop
   nor "+++" will wake it up.  It *appears* to be dialins that drop
   early, perhaps even before mgetty has sent the ATA.  My Zyxel

Sounds reasonable. I had a modem crash yesterday and it
showed that a dialin user having logged in around noon
had dropped the line without properly exiting the shell
(no `exit' command in the .bash_history file). `last'
showed him "still logged in" in the evening.
