Well, I did not experience lockups for quite a while, so I can only guess
- but I'd say that DTR stays low because "init" deactivates mgetty after
so many unsuccessful tries, so no process has the port open, so the driver
pulls DTR low automatically.

Would be interesting, though, to watch the modem / mgetty reinitialization
tries *while it is happening* - but I think I'm daydreaming...
