39.Sh NAME
40.Nm dn
41.Nd
42.Tn DN-11
43serial autocall unit interface
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "dn0 at uba? csr 0160020 vector dnintr"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
48.Bx 4.4
49yet.
50.Pp
51The
52.Nm dn
53device provides an interface through a
54.Tn DEC
55.Tn DN-11
56(or equivalent
57such as the Able Quadracall) to an auto-call unit
58.Pq Tn ACU .
59To place an outgoing call one forks a sub-process which
60opens the appropriate call unit file,
61.Pa /dev/cua?
62and writes the phone number on it.  The parent process
63then opens the corresponding modem line
64.Pa /dev/cul? .
65When the connection has been
66established, the open on the modem line
67.Pa /dev/cul?
68will return and the process will be connected.
69A timer is normally used to timeout the opening of
70the modem line.
71.Pp
72The codes for the phone numbers are:
73.Bl -column xxxx -offset indent
740-9	number to be dialed
75*	dial * (`:' is a synonym)
76#	dial # (`;' is a synonym)
77\-	delay 20 milliseconds
78\*[Lt]	end of phone number (`e' is a synonym)
79=	delay for a second dial tone (`w' is a synonym)
80f	force a hangup of any existing connection
81.El
82.Pp
83The phone number to be dialed must be presented as one contiguous string.
84.Pp
85By convention, even numbered call units are for 300 baud
86modem lines, while odd numbered units are for 1200 baud lines.
87For example,
88.Pa /dev/cua0
89is associated with a 300 baud modem line,
90.Pa /dev/cul0 ,
91while
92.Pa /dev/cua1
93is associated with a 1200 baud modem line,
94.Pa /dev/cul1 .
95For devices such as the Quadracall which simulate multiple
96.Tn DN-11
97units, the minor device indicates which outgoing modem to use.
