[Actually, this isn't the place to discuss this, but what the heck]

Seems to me that with 4.2's ability to hand off file descriptors
across the AF_UNIX domain, there should be one single ``dialer
daemon'' which can be asked to dial a number and hand back a modem
descriptor.  Then all the modem locking, phone number logging, etc.
doesn't have to be spread out across N thousand programs.
