🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Some systems, serial ports, and modem are out here behaving 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. no cap, that’s the whole detective mission. 🔍✨
