39.Dt UMODEM 4
40.Os
41.Sh NAME
42.Nm umodem
43.Nd USB modem support
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "umodem* at uhub?"
46.Cd "ucom*   at umodem?"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver provides support for USB modems in the Communication
51Device Class using the Abstract Control Model.
52These modems are basically standard serial line modems, but they are
53accessed via USB instead.  They support a regular AT command set.
54The commands can either be multiplexed with the data stream
55or handled through separate pipes.  In the latter case the AT
56commands have to be given on device separate from the data device.
57.Pp
58The device is accessed through the
59.Xr ucom 4
60driver which makes it behave like a
61.Xr tty 4 .
62.Sh SEE ALSO
63.Xr tty 4 ,
64.Xr ucom 4 ,
65.Xr usb 4
66.Sh HISTORY
67The
68.Nm
69driver
70appeared in
71.Nx 1.5 .
72This manual page was adopted from
73.Nx
74by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org>
75in April 2002.
76.Sh BUGS
77Only modems with multiplexed commands and data are supported
78at the moment.
