BTW, it seems we talk about different things. As I understand the original
problem, the question is: WHY SLATTACH NOT RECONNECTS WHEN CARRIER
ESTABLISHED AGAIN (AUTOMATICALLY BY MODEM)?

I.e.
1) driver needs to track carrier when in TS_ZOMBI and
set TS_CONNECTED, clear TS_ZOMBI when carrier
appearse on the line.
2) Slattach not need exit on SIGHUP but wait reasonable time
until carrier will be up again.
