Description

Dial-up modem lines can answer calls, receive faxes, and handle serial login workflows on Unix-like systems. This package is for legacy communication setups where a modem is still part of the system.

It is usually configured as a background service or system component, not a normal desktop app. Administrators should check phone-line behavior, permissions, and exposed login paths before enabling it.
