How can I completely disable DTR assertion in serial communication?

I'll quickly explain our scenario. We have third-party (read: cheap)
camera's that make use of the serial Sony VISCA protocol for
communication. They seem to work flawlessly on Windows, but not on
Linux. However, they do work in Linux when we cut the serial control
wires. But as we have quite a lot of these camera's, this is not a
feasible fix for us.

My guess is the camera's reset when they receive a DTR high signal and
from what I have read, it seems this happens whenever the serial port
is opened in Linux (correct me if I am wrong). I can change the VISCA
library to set the DTR signal low, but only after opening the port, so
the device still resets.

Can anyone provide some hints on how I can handle this? I can edit
source code and recompile the serial driver if that is what's required
(bare in mind I'm not a developer, so I might need some pointers).
Thanks so much in advance.
