It gets ugly in languages with more extensive number-marking - "le(s)
modem(s) ADSL compatible(s)"...
Multi-modem setups are probably uncommon enough that we can just cover
it in the long description with s/modem/modem (or modems)/ at most.
(I haven't done my usual "why the name?" routine, have I? It turns
that upstream were formerly known as "Worldvisions Weaver Software",
and parts of this package were formerly known as "weaver", later
abbreviated to just "wv-".)
