35.Sh NAME
36.Nm dn

38.Tn DN-11
39serial autocall unit interface
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "dn0 at uba? csr 0160020 vector dnintr"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
44.Bx 4.4
45yet.
46.Pp
47The
48.Nm dn
49device provides an interface through a
50.Tn DEC
51.Tn DN-11
52(or equivalent
53such as the Able Quadracall) to an auto-call unit
54.Pq Tn ACU .
55To place an outgoing call one forks a sub-process which
56opens the appropriate call unit file,
57.Pa /dev/cua?
58and writes the phone number on it.  The parent process
59then opens the corresponding modem line
60.Pa /dev/cul? .
61When the connection has been
62established, the open on the modem line
63.Pa /dev/cul?
64will return and the process will be connected.
65A timer is normally used to timeout the opening of
66the modem line.
67.Pp
68The codes for the phone numbers are:
69.Bl -column "0-9" description -offset indent
70.It 0-9	number to be dialed
71.It *	dial * (`:' is a synonym)
72.It #	dial # (`;' is a synonym)
73.It \-	delay 20 milliseconds
74.It \*[Lt]	end of phone number (`e' is a synonym)
75.It =	delay for a second dial tone (`w' is a synonym)
76.It f	force a hangup of any existing connection
77.El
78.Pp
79The phone number to be dialed must be presented as one contiguous string.
80.Pp
81By convention, even numbered call units are for 300 baud
82modem lines, while odd numbered units are for 1200 baud lines.
83For example,
84.Pa /dev/cua0
85is associated with a 300 baud modem line,
86.Pa /dev/cul0 ,
87while
88.Pa /dev/cua1
89is associated with a 1200 baud modem line,
90.Pa /dev/cul1 .
91For devices such as the Quadracall which simulate multiple
92.Tn DN-11
93units, the minor device indicates which outgoing modem to use.
