NAME

       umodem — USB modem support

SYNOPSIS

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

             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 in the Communication Device Class using the Abstract
       Control Model.  These 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).
