The Communications Driver built into all versions of Windows drops the DTR
Line when a Communications Port is Closed.

Turning the DTR line Off causes the attached Modem to Drop Carrier if the
Modem is Connected to a Remote Modem. If a Communications Program needs to
invoke another Communications Program, the Port first needs to be closed
so that the other program can utilize the Serial Port. With the Windows
Communications Driver, the DTR line will be turned off, causing a
disconnect. For Server, or BBS type programs, this behavior is not
acceptable, since the spawned program generally expects that there be a
Connection to a remote computer.

  For instance, if a BBS program invokes a "Door", the Door Program expects
  a caller to be On-Line. 

FIXDTR95 patches the Win 95 Communications driver so that it does not drop
DTR when a Serial Port is closed.

To run the program, copy FIXDTR95.EXE to a directory of your choice, and
then execute the program from within Windows.

After the patching process is complete, Windows will need to be restarted
so that the patched version of SERIAL.VXD can be utilized. This will occur
automatically if the patching process is successful.
