Greetings pat users --

I'm the author of the PACTOR patch-out, given I do not have access to that
non-free software.  This is documented in the file
/usr/share/doc/pat/README.Debian:

    ...
    # ptc-go disabled
    The current Debian packaging of pat has "ptc-go" pactor modem support
    disabled.
    If there is interest in this feature please submit a bug report.
    ...

Thanks for the feedback.  Exciting to learn others have interest and possible
cycles to progress that component.  Ideally there will be follow-up test
results helping confirm if things work or not.

regards,
donfede
