pppd 2.3.5. 2.1.12[23], also occurred on earleir versions.

stty -a < /dev/ttyS1 shows clocal.

Dialout a pppd link on ttyS1.

stty -a < /dev/ttyS1 shows -clocal.

Turn the external modem off, pppd dies.

Turn modem back on, try to dial out again.

stty -a < /dev/ttyS1 now hangs in open, as does any other attempt to
open ttyS1.

stty -a < /dev/cua1 still shows -clocal.

stty clocal < /dev/cua1 fixes the problem.

Of course cua1 is depreciated :(.

The problem of -clocal remaining also seems to occur if the other end
of the link drops the connection.
