.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.
