Kernel normally has full support of DTR/DSR signals. Otherwise, it would not be possible to use any well-configured modem, which, for example, drops a connection when DTR drops. I'm using it regularly and it works well for me. As well, Linux can read the DSR line coming from modem and see if it's on or off. No kernel patch is required. I think that wine people are just solving this problem in the wine code. With regards, Pavel Troller P.S. It's not necessary to write every message 3x, our mailers/newsreaders work reliably :-).
