NAME
modemtest - Tool to examining your modem through Perl's Device::SerialPort
SYNOPSIS
modemtest [OPTS] [DEVICE [BAUD [DATA [PARITY [STOP [FLOW]]]]]]
DEVICE Device to use as a serial port (default: "/dev/modem")
BAUD Serial speed to use (default: 9600)
DATA Number of databits to use (default: 8)
PARITY Type of parity to use (default: "none")

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.
