modemu2k (Hayes-style AT-command modem emulator)

modemu2k bridges a serial-style interface to TCP/Telnet ("dials"
out and answers incoming connections). It ships as a C library
(libmodemu2k) exposing the modem state machine, plus a small CLI
built on top that allocates a PTY and either reads stdin/stdout
directly, forks a comm program (minicom, picocom) on the slave,
or accepts an incoming TCP connection as the TTY. IPv4 and IPv6
are supported.

modemu2k is based on modemu, originally developed by Toru Egashira.

Optional runtime helpers (not build-time requirements):

  * minicom -- terminal program invoked by the m2k-minicom helper
    script. In the stock Slackware package set.
  * picocom -- alternative terminal program for the m2k-picocom
    helper script. Available from SlackBuilds.org.
  * lrzsz -- for ZModem/YModem/XModem file transfers initiated from
    inside a comm program. In the stock Slackware package set.

No special configuration is needed before or after installing.

Build options:

  TEST=yes    Run `meson test` after building. Results are logged
              under /usr/doc/modemu2k-<version>/test_results.txt
              inside the package. Default: no.
