<p class="Pp">NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
    <span class="Ux">4.4BSD</span> yet.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">dmz</code> device provides 24 lines of
    asynchronous serial line support. Modem control on all ports is available as
    an option for the H3014 distribution panel.</p>
<p class="Pp">An optional argument <var class="Ar">flags</var> may be supplied
    with the device specification for <code class="Nm">dmz</code> in the config
    file indicating that the line corresponding to bit number
    <var class="Ar">i</var> is not properly connected, and should be treated as
    hard-wired with carrier always present. Thus specifying
    &#x2018;<code class="Li">flags 0x000004</code>&#x2019; for
    <code class="Li">dmz0</code> would cause line <span class="Pa">ttya2</span>
    to be treated in this way.</p>
<p class="Pp">Normal I/O control parameters for individual lines are managed by
    <a class="Xr">ioctl(2)</a> calls. Line speeds (there are 16 choices for the
    DMZ) may be initiated via <a class="Xr">getty(8)</a> and
    <a class="Xr">stty(1)</a> or may be communicated by other programs which use
    <a class="Xr">ioctl(2)</a> such as <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a>, see
    <a class="Xr">tty(4)</a>.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">dmz</code> driver normally enables the input
    silos with a short timeout (30 milliseconds); this allows multiple
    characters to be received per interrupt during periods of high-speed
  input.</p>

  <dt>dmz%d: NXM line %d.</dt>
  <dd>No response from the UNIBUS on a DMA transfer within a timeout period.
      This is often followed by a UNIBUS adapter error. This occurs most
      frequently when the UNIBUS is heavily loaded and when devices which hog
      the bus (such as RK07s) are present. It is not serious.</dd>
  <dt>dmz%d: silo overflow.</dt>
  <dd>The character input silo overflowed before it could be serviced. This can
      happen if a hard error occurs when the CPU is running with elevated
      priority, as the system will then print a message on the console with
      interrupts disabled. It is not serious.</dd>

<p class="Pp">It should be possible to set the silo timeout with a configuration
    file option, as the value is a trade-off between efficiency and response
    time for flow control and character echo.</p>
