DESCRIPTION

24       Some systems, serial ports, and modem behave in strange ways.  To test
25       the capabilities of Perl's Device::SerialPort, this tool queries the
26       system settings for the given DEVICE, and attempts to set up the port
27       and send the initialization string "ATE1" to the modem, reporting the
28       results seen.
