16.Sh SYNOPSIS
17.Cd "device dz0 at uba0 csr 0160100 vector dzrint dzxint"
18.Sh DESCRIPTION
19A
20.Tn DZ-11
21provides 8 communication lines with partial modem control,
22adequate for
23.Tn UNIX
24dialup use.
25.Pp
26An optional argument
27.Ar flags
28may be supplied with the device specification
29in the config file indicating
30that the line corresponding to
31bit number
32.Ar i
33is not properly
34connected, and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
35always present.  Thus specifying
36.Ql flags 0x04
37for
38.Li dz0
39would cause line
40.Pa tty02
41to be treated in this way.
42.Pp
43Normal I/O
44control parameters for individual lines are managed by
45.Xr ioctl 2
46calls.
47Line speeds may be initiated via
48the
49.Xr ttys 5
50file,
51.Xr stty 1
52or
53.Xr ifconfig 8
54to name a few,
55see
56.Xr tty 4 .
57.Pp
58The
59.Nm dz
60driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
61and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
62and input silos.
63While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
64the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

71.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
72.Bl -diag
73.It dz%d: silo overflow .
74The 64 character input silo overflowed
75before it could be serviced.  This can happen if a hard error occurs
76when the
77.Tn CPU
78is running with elevated priority, as the system will
79then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
80It is not serious.
