33.Dt UMODEM 4
34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm umodem
37.Nd USB Communication Device Class serial (CDC ACM) driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile this driver into the kernel,
40place the following lines in your
41kernel configuration file:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device usb"
44.Cd "device ucom"
45.Cd "device umodem"
46.Ed
47.Pp
48Alternatively, to load the driver as a
49module at boot time, place the following line in
50.Xr loader.conf 5 :
51.Bd -literal -offset indent
52umodem_load="YES"
53.Ed
54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Nm
57driver provides support for USB modems and serial devices that
58implement the Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model (CDC ACM).
59It also provides device-side CDC ACM support.
60Supported modems are basically standard serial line modems, but they are
61accessed via USB instead.
62They support a regular AT command set.
63The commands can either be multiplexed with the data stream
64or handled through separate pipes.
65In the latter case the AT
66commands have to be given on a device separate from the data device.
67.Pp
68The device is accessed through the
69.Xr ucom 4
70driver which makes it behave like a
71.Xr tty 4 .
