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.
