+.SH NAME
+rv \- Racal/Vadic ACU interface
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The racal/vadic ACU interface is provided by the files
+.I /dev/cua[01]
+which is a multiplexed file, and by the daemon
+.I dnd
+which monitors the file, simulating a standard DN dialer.
+To place an outgoing call one forks a sub-process
+trying to open
+.I /dev/cul?
+and then opens the corresponding file
+.I /dev/cua?
+file and writes a number on it.
+The daemon translates the call to proper format for the
+Racal/Vadic interface, and monitors the progress of the call
+recording accounting information for later use.
+.PP
+The codes for the phone numbers are the same as in the DN interface:
+.TP
+0-9
+dial 0-9
+.br
+.ns

+.B :

+delay for second dial tone

+.TP
+<
+end-of-number
+.PP
+The entire telephone number must be
+presented in a single
+.I write
+system call.
+.PP
+It is require that an end-of-number
+code be given.
