[Commotion-dev] Lab setup and initial test results

[Alexander Chemeris]

For simple load testing and some parts of regression testing a usual modem
bank should work fine. We have one of those here, which we want to put to
work:

Good things about a modem bank is that (1) you could use simple AT commands
to control it (many phones could do too, though) and (2) you could connect
it directly to your splitter, as they have antenna connectors.
