   Not necessarily. A system crash, or more specifically a DOS program that    
   just decides to give-up... does not automatically drop the carrier signal on a   
   COM port unless its told to do so or a hard-reset is done.   
      
   I have an archive of the source code for 1.60 I believe, I can take a look.
