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.
