=head1 NAME

Device::Modem::Log::Syslog - Syslog logging plugin for Device::Modem class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Device::Modem;

  my $box = new Device::Modem( log => 'syslog', ... );
  ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Example log class for B<Device::Modem> that logs all
modem activity, commands, ... to B<syslog>

It is loaded automatically at B<Device::Modem> startup,
only if you specify C<syslog> value to C<log> parameter.

If you don't have B<Sys::Syslog> additional module installed,
you will not be able to use this logging plugin, and you should
better leave the default logging (to text file).

=head2 REQUIRES

C<Sys::Syslog>

=head2 EXPORTS

None
