        !            11: modemcap is a language  for describing modems to your system.  It
        !            12: resembles the  termcap language in  its syntax, although  the two
        !            13: are by no means  identical.  With modemcap, you can describe your
        !            14: modem to any program  that automatically dials out on your modem;
        !            15: this should  spare you the tedium  of continually describing your
        !            16: modem to one program after another.
        !            17: 
        !            18: The copy of  /etc/modemcap included with your release of COHERENT
        !            19: already contains descriptions of many popular modems; the chances
        !            20: are good that yours has already been described for you.
        !            21: 
        !            22: Each modemcap  command is  one of  three types: flag,  string, or
        !            23: number.  A  flag command  signals that  your modem is  performs a
        !            24: particular action or  has a particular feature.  A string command
        !            25: gives the  command that your  modem recognizes to  perform a par-
        !            26: ticular  action.  For  example,  many modems  recognize that  the
        !            27: string at means that you  want to gain its attention.  Finally, a
        !            28: number command sets a value  or parameter for your modem, such as
        !            29: the highest baud rate it recognizes.
        !            30: 
        !            31: The following table describes each modemcap command:
