40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "dz0 at uba0 csr 0160100 vector dzrint dzxint"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43A
44.Tn DZ-11
45provides 8 communication lines with partial modem control,
46adequate for
47.Ux
48dialup use.
49.Pp
50An optional argument
51.Ar flags
52may be supplied with the device specification
53in the config file indicating
54that the line corresponding to
55bit number
56.Ar i
57is not properly
58connected, and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
59always present.  Thus specifying
60.Ql flags 0x04
61for
62.Li dz0
63would cause line
64.Pa tty02
65to be treated in this way.
66.Pp
67Normal I/O
68control parameters for individual lines are managed by
69.Xr ioctl 2
70calls.
71Line speeds may be initiated via
72the
73.Xr ttys 5
74file,
75.Xr stty 1
76or
77.Xr ifconfig 8
78to name a few,
79see
80.Xr tty 4 .
81.Pp
82The
83.Nm dz
84driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
85and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
86and input silos.
87While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
88the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

95.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
96.Bl -diag
97.It dz%d: silo overflow .
98The 64 character input silo overflowed
99before it could be serviced.  This can happen if a hard error occurs
100when the
101.Tn CPU
102is running with elevated priority, as the system will
103then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
104It is not serious.
