- If the modem is not properly configured to drop Carrier Detect when the
- phone line is disconnected, this could be possible.
- Log in to the suspect system, then disconnect the phone line to the modem.
- Dial back into the system. If it is properly configured, you will get a new
- login prompt. If it is not properly configured, you will be returned to the
- previous login session, still running.
