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.
60Thus specifying
61.Ql flags 0x04
62for
63.Li dz0
64would cause line
65.Pa tty02
66to be treated in this way.
67.Pp
68Normal I/O
69control parameters for individual lines are managed by
70.Xr ioctl 2
71calls.
72Line speeds may be initiated via
73the
74.Xr ttys 5
75file,
76.Xr stty 1
77or
78.Xr ifconfig 8
79to name a few,
80see
81.Xr tty 4 .
82.Pp
83The
84.Nm dz
85driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
86and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
87and input silos.
88While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
89the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

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