   IIRC you can get away with leaving DTR high in DOS but in Windows you have to   
   close the COM port before another program can open it which automatically   
   lowers DTR.  The only way around that is to pass the Win32 COM handle (instead   
   of the port), but that needs to be supported by your other software.
