Yeah, you are correct here.  You could assert DTR with the direct bit
frobbing things, but you also need to block until CTS/CD goes on.  The
modem bit ioctls have to blocking mechanism for this.

Again, I have no objection to adding new interfaces to tioctl to make
all this better.  There's no real need to bang our heads to coerce the
existing thing to work unchanged.
