And it's quite powerfull too.

ModemGroup: "any: ttyS2"
ModemGroup: "ttyS1: ttyS2"
ModemGroup: "special: ttyds[13]"

Will mean that no user will every be able to send directly via ttyS1.
They can only get at it through the "special" group, and that has both
modems in it.

Very usefull if you want to restrict certain lines for scheduling in
particular cases.
