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