I can't disagree with your points 2 and 3, for sure. I guess I've just
gotten used to it :)

For point #1, turning off "autohangup" on the ports exhibiting the
issue you mentioned seems to take care of it.

I haven't found any way of configuring ports to ignore carrier status, which means that for those devices which don't raise carrier, I need to build a custom cable, 2. the CLI is truly horrible, and there is no excuse in 2011 for not supporting emacs-like control keys (e.g. ^U, ^W, ^A, etc), and 3. the programmable menuing system is facepalmingly awful.
