This is probably caused by a bug in dial in code.  It drops DTR for a
few microseconds after carrier rises.  The TB+ is apparently fast enough
to see this.

There may be a way to configure the TB+ to ignore transients changes
of DTR.

The bug should be fixed in FreeBSD-current in a couple of weeks.
