+.sp
+.ti 0
+DESCRIPTION dp?___
+is a 201 data-phone interface file.
+read____ and write_____ calls to dp?___
+are limited to a maximum of 400 bytes.
+Each write call is sent as a single record.
+Seven bits from each byte
+are written along with an eighth odd parity
+bit.
+The sync must be user supplied.
+Each read call returns characters received from a
+single record.
+Seven bits are returned unaltered; the eighth bit
+is set if the byte was not received in odd parity.
+A 20 second time out is set and a zero byte
+record is returned if nothing is received in that time.
