How many have problems with Arnet+modems

I'm having problems with the Arnet Smartport driver and its broken handling
of DTR.  Arnet tells me that this is a rare problem, and that they are
working on it - shipping date in three weeks, they said (as of a week or
so ago).  

(My obvious lack of confidence in the date is caused by the knowledge that
the fix was promised to another site (ncoast) some time ago but never
delivered.  "ncoast" is now using a Star*Gate board.

Am I the only one using an Arnet board with modems and having this problem?
If you are in the same boat please send me e-mail; I'd like to see how  many
are in the boat with me.  If you have any workarounds that would be nice,
too.
