40.Dt UMODEM 4
41.Os
42.Sh NAME
43.Nm umodem
44.Nd USB modem support
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.Cd "device umodem"
47.Cd "device ucom"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for USB modems in the Communication
52Device Class using the Abstract Control Model.
53These modems are basically standard serial line modems, but they are
54accessed via USB instead.
55They support a regular AT command set.
56The commands can either be multiplexed with the data stream
57or handled through separate pipes.
58In the latter case the AT
59commands have to be given on a device separate from the data device.
60.Pp
61The device is accessed through the
62.Xr ucom 4
63driver which makes it behave like a
64.Xr tty 4 .
65.Sh SEE ALSO
66.Xr tty 4 ,
67.Xr ucom 4 ,
68.Xr usb 4
69.Sh HISTORY
70The
71.Nm
72driver
73appeared in

75This manual page was adopted from
76.Nx
77by
78.An Tom Rhodes Aq Mt trhodes@FreeBSD.org

80.Sh BUGS
81Only modems with multiplexed commands and data are supported
82at the moment.
