UMODEM(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		       UMODEM(4)

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 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 lat-
     ter 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).
