44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "dz0 at uba0 csr 0160100 vector dzrint dzxint"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47A
48.Tn DZ-11
49provides 8 communication lines with partial modem control,
50adequate for
51.Ux
52dialup use.
53.Pp
54An optional argument
55.Ar flags
56may be supplied with the device specification
57in the config file indicating
58that the line corresponding to
59bit number
60.Ar i
61is not properly
62connected, and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
63always present.  Thus specifying
64.Ql flags 0x04
65for
66.Li dz0
67would cause line
68.Pa tty02
69to be treated in this way.
70.Pp
71Normal I/O
72control parameters for individual lines are managed by
73.Xr ioctl 2
74calls.
75Line speeds may be initiated via
76the
77.Xr ttys 5
78file,
79.Xr stty 1
80or
81.Xr ifconfig 8
82to name a few,
83see
84.Xr tty 4 .
85.Pp
86The
87.Nm dz
88driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
89and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
90and input silos.
91While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
92the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

99.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
100.Bl -diag
101.It dz%d: silo overflow .
102The 64 character input silo overflowed
103before it could be serviced.  This can happen if a hard error occurs
104when the
105.Tn CPU
106is running with elevated priority, as the system will
107then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
108It is not serious.
