Honey DanBer UUCP has such an animal in the /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers file.
It's based on the chat script, just like L.sys/Systems file lines.

Here's an example:
hayes	=,-,	"" AT\r\c OK\r \EATDT\T\r\c CONNECT

This says that the string for pause or dialtone wait (= or -) is
comma, and that you dial by saying AT (CR, no NL), wait for OK (CR),
turn on echo checking, send ATDT, send the phone number, CR, no NL,
then wait for CONNECT.

Then the /usr/lib/uucp/Devices file says which ports are hayes dialers.
