Modemcap has to be the worst hack in existance! How the hell do you
"program" the ACU in a "language" that only allows forward branching
(no lables of course)? YuK!

The termcap routines are great for curses (and even printers), but someone
got a bit carried away... The dial(3) replacement routines posted to
mod.sources a while ago are about the most elegant solution to this messy
problem that I've seen to date. (Are you listening Convergent?).
