+Minimodem is a command-line program which decodes (or generates) audio modem
+tones at any specified baud rate, using various framing protocols. It acts a
+general-purpose software FSK modem, and includes support for various standard
+FSK protocols such as Bell103, Bell202, RTTY, NOAA SAME, and Caller-ID.
+
+Minimodem can play and capture audio modem tones in real-time via the system
+audio device, or in batched mode via audio files.
+
+Minimodem can be used to transfer data between nearby computers using an audio
+cable (or just via sound waves), or between remote computers using radio,
+telephone, or another audio communications medium.
