39.Sh NAME
40.Nm dhu
41.Nd
42.Tn DHU-11/DHV-11
43serial communications multiplexer
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "dhu0 at uba0 csr 0160440"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47A
48.Tn DHU-11
49provides 16 communication lines.
50.Pp
51Normal I/O
52control parameters for individual lines are managed by
53.Xr ioctl 2
54calls.
55Individual
56.Tn DHU-11
57lines may be configured to run at any of 13 speeds
58(50, 200 and 38400 baud are not available);
59the speed may be set via
60.Xr getty 8
61or
62.Xr stty 1
63or may be communicated by other programs which
64utilize
65.Xr ioctl 2
66such as
67.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
68see
69.Xr tty 4 .
70.Pp
71The
72.Tn DHU-11
73driver normally uses input silos
74and delays receiver interrupts by 20 milliseconds
75rather than taking an interrupt on each input character.

80.Sh NOTES
81The driver currently does not make full use of the hardware
82capabilities of the
83.Tn DHU-11 ,
84for dealing with
85.Tn XON/XOFF
86flow-control or hard-wired
87lines for example.
88.Pp
89Although the devices are not the same, a
90.Tn DHU-11
91can convince the
92.Tn DH-11
93autoconfiguration code that it is a
94.Tn DH-11 .
95.Pp
96The 4 40-way cables are a pain.

99.Sh HISTORY
100The
101.Nm
102driver appeared in
103.Bx 4.3 .
104.br
105A new
106.Nm
107driver showed up in
108.Bx 1.2 .
109.Sh BUGS
110Even if the
111.Nm
112hardware supports
113.Tn DMA ,
114the driver cannot make use of this capability.
