32.Dt UMODEM 4
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm umodem
36.Nd USB modem support
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Cd "umodem* at uhub?"
39.Cd "ucom*   at umodem?"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43driver provides support for USB modems in the Communication
44Device Class using the Abstract Control Model.
45These modems are basically standard serial line modems, but they are
46accessed via USB instead.
47They support a regular AT command set.
48The commands can either be multiplexed with the data stream
49or handled through separate pipes.
50In the latter case the AT commands have to be given on a device separate
51from the data device.
52.Pp
53The device is accessed through the
54.Xr ucom 4
55driver which makes it behave like a
56.Xr tty 4 .
57.Sh SEE ALSO
58.Xr tty 4 ,
59.Xr ucom 4 ,
60.Xr uhub 4 ,
61.Xr usb 4
62.Sh HISTORY
63The
64.Nm
65driver appeared in
66.Nx 1.5 .
67.Ox
68support was added in
69.Ox 2.7 .
70.Sh BUGS
71Only modems with multiplexed commands and data are supported
72at the moment.
