Trouble with Unix PC internal modem

[Bill Mayhew]

/etc/rc runs a 68K executable file named /etc/.modeminit.
.modeminit seems to do some magic to initialize the OBM.  It
doesn't seem to do any harm to run .modeminit as long as there
isn't any ongoing phone activity.  I just tried running it, and it
clicked some realy, but not the line relay as the click was softer
than the clanking sound the line realy makes on my machine.  The
ultimate test was that the OBM still worked afterword.

As usual, .modeminit doesn't seem to be documented; at least if it
is lurking in the manuals, it has eluded my search thus far.

Here is a strings of .modeminit:
