Might be...

... but that part is easy.  There are some small "gadgets" that can be
plugged in the RS232 cable between modem and digiboard, and that will show
you the state of each line (red/green LEDs).  With that, you should be 
able to observe whether the modem is raising and lowering DCD properly.

If that works, but a hangup is still not signalled, you could check the
Linux side - in the mgetty/tools/ directory, you find a program called
"ltest" that will show the status lines on the serial port.

Run it like this:

$ ltest -m 100 -d /dev/tty<name>

and it will display all changes.

No need for that.  ;-)
