18.Sh DESCRIPTION
19A
20.Tn VIOC-X
21provides 16 communication lines with partial modem control,
22adequate for
23.Tn UNIX
24dialup use.
25and may be set to run at any of 16 speeds; see

43.It VIOC-BOP no. %d at %x.
44The system identified a vioc supporting the bit oriented protocol.
45The number
46.Em %d
47is the board number assigned by the system
48while the address
49.Em %x
50is the address of the command control
51block for the vioc.
52.It vx%d: unknown type %x.
53The system encountered a vioc of unknown type during autoconfiguration.
54.It vx%d: didn't respond to LIDENT.
55The device did not respond to the configuration command that
56sets the interrupt vectors and port configuration.
57.It vx%d: %s%s, ports %d-%d.
58This is informatory message printed during autoconfiguration
59indicating the type of hardware present the port configuration.
60.It vx%d: no buffers.
61All the command buffers were in use; this indicates the device
62is constipated for some reason.
63.It vx%d: setq overflow.
64An attempt to append a command to an existing command buffer
65failed because the buffer was full or the hardware doesn't
66support this facility.
67.It vx%d: cmd q overflow.
68An attempt to place a new command on the command queue failed
69because it was full.  The device is either overloaded or hung
70up for some reason.  If this happens, the system tries to
71reset the device to unwedge it.
72.It vx%d INTR ERR type %x v_dcd %x.
73An error was returned by the device in response to some command.
74The command identifier and data carrier detect mask are printed
75followed by the contents of the command buffer in error.
76.It vx%d: vcmdrsp interrupt.
77A command response interrupt was received from a bop (bit oriented
78protocol) vioc.  This should not happen.
79.It vx%d: cmdresp debug.
80.Pp
81.It vx%d: vunsol from
82.Tn BOP .
83An unsolicited interrupt was received from a bop vioc.  This should
84not happen.
85.It vx%d: interrupt q overflow.
86The queue of pending interrupts to be delivered to the vioc is
87full.  This is probably due to the vioc being wedged.  The system
88resets the vioc if this occurs.
89.It vx%d: reset....
90The system attempted to reset the vioc.
