Right. Setting the two together was a hack to get things to work. I made
that decision because I didn't realize it would be easy to add cdtrcts.
Plus cdtrcts is a lot more indicitive of what's going on.

To get things going as a local patch, that would work. But what would be
cooler is if you could teach cu, mgetty, and uucico (?) about dtrcts on
the same footing as rtscts & mdmbuf. Since cu is in the tree, it should be
able to cope. I think the other two are in the package collection, so we
should teach those about dtrcts too.

Could you do that/take a stab at it & send in a pr?

Thanks!
