20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.Cd "device dcl0 at scode? flags 0x1"
22.Sh DESCRIPTION
23The 98628A is a buffered
24.Tn EIA
25.Tn RS-232C
26.Pf ( Tn CCITT
27.Tn V.28 )
28communications interface.
29It has one port with full modem control.
30.Pp
31Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
320, 50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800,
339600, 19200.
34.Pp
35An optional argument
36.Ar flags
37may be set to 1 if the line should be treated as hard-wired with
38carrier always present, or to 0 if modem control is desired.
39.Pp
40Use
41.Tn HP
42cable "98626 & 98628 opts.002,
43.Tn RS232-C
44.Tn DCE CABLE ,
455061-4216" to attach non-modem devices.
46Use
47.Tn HP
48cable "98626 & 98628 opts.001,
49.Tn RS232-C
50.Tn DTE CABLE ,
515061-4215" to attach modems.
52.Pp
53The 98628A has a 256 byte input silo and a 256 output silo. Input interrupts
54happen on a per character basis.
55.Pp
56The high water and low water marks in the kernel tty routines are completely
57inappropriate for a device like this with a large input buffer.  Don't use
58tandem mode if possible.  A fast system can handle input at 19.2K baud without
59receive overflow.
60.Pp
61For output to devices that make heavy use of
62.Tn XON/XOFF
63a write size of less
64then 256 will improve performance marginally.
