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