COMdog is a simple freeware utility that sniffs out modems and
displays their port numbers. When it finds a responding COM port,
it sends an "ATZ" string (modem reset command) and checks to see
if an "OK" is returned.

OPERATION
=========
Just type in COMDOG at the DOS prompt. COMdog will check for
all four COM ports and report any modems it finds connected to
or configured as those ports.

NOTE: This program was tested with a variety of modems and
configurations. It will work correctly if the modems are
100% "Hayes-compatible". Most modems are, but some older
or proprietary modems may not respond correctly. It will
work with all compatible modems with a baud or bps rate of
1200 and above.
