NAME

     umodem — USB Communication Device Class serial (CDC ACM) driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device usb
           device ucom
           device umodem

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

           umodem_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The umodem driver provides support for USB modems and serial devices that implement the
     Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model (CDC ACM).  It also provides device-side
     CDC ACM support.  Supported modems are basically standard serial line modems, but they are
     accessed via USB instead.  They support a regular AT command set.  The commands can either
     be multiplexed with the data stream or handled through separate pipes.  In the latter case
     the AT commands have to be given on a device separate from the data device.

     The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).

HISTORY

     The umodem driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.  This manual page was adopted from NetBSD by Tom
     Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> in April 2002.

BUGS

     Only modems with multiplexed commands and data are supported at the moment.
