UMODEM(4)	       FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 	     UMODEM(4)

NAME
     umodem -- USB modem support

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

	   device umodem
	   device ucom

     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 basi-
     cally standard serial line modems, but they are accessed via USB instead.
     They support a regular AT command set.  The commands can either be multi-
     plexed 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).

     Devices supported by the umodem driver include:

     +o	 3Com 5605

     from NetBSD by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> in April 2002.

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