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.
