What is the book solution for modem control? That document was not in
the pile of release notes and manual upgrades for my 3B2 S5R3.2.2 OS.

I don't have any hardware manuals, but it appears that DCD is crossed
with DSR in the 8 conductor 3B2 AT&T RJ type Modem connectors.
To use 'cu', I had to force DCD high on my modem, that is until I
rewired the connector:

25 pin           8 conductor RJ
to modem         towards computer
