Some modems require an initialization string before they will do anything useful. Has anyone figured out a way to have term.c or a shell script or something else provide a canned string to the modem? Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

Isn't this what /etc/modemcap is for? While minix doesn't use a
modemcap file for anything at the moment, that sounds like the logical
way to do it to me.
