Something struck me a while back, but I never found occasion to bring
it up.  Many years ago, when I was still using my 3B1 and learning to
use Unix, I encountered modemcap.  I don't have any details handy,
although I could start up one of my relics and do some digging.  What
seemed like a good idea at the time was obviously lost to humankind.
Would it be worth revisiting?

The following quote from man telco is apt:

          The modem specific information is currently built into the
          source.  This should be in a user modifiable file.

I appreciate that "cap" style files are a little obsolete, but perhaps
not totally so.  I'm really looking for opinions (not a flame war), I
suppose.
