Try "man termcap" -- it really is pretty logical. But some systems use
terminfo instead or, what is worse, in addition to!

Do you really get an error, or does it just look that way? ZMDM
defaults to 9600 baud, and when you dial a number at a different rate
the echo to the screen looks like garbage. But it still dials OK.
