While this does work, it is a workaround.  I don't think we should 
lose sight of the fact that diald's behavior here is a bug and *NOT* 
a configuration issue.

diald has a bug which causes it to erroneously close the modem 
file descriptor if it is less than three.  When you run diald in non-
daemon mode diald opens (and keeps open) STDIN, STDOUT and 
STDERR (file descriptors 0, 1 and 2).  The result is that the modem 
file descriptor, when it is opened, is greater than 2 and hence not 
affected by the bug.
