.SH DESCRIPTION
A DZ11 provides 8 communication lines with partial modem control,
adequate for UNIX dialup use.
Each line attached to the DZ11 communications multiplexer
behaves as described in
.IR tty (4)
and may be set to run at any of 16 speeds; see
.IR tty (4)
for the encoding.
.PP
Bit
.I 0200
of the minor device number for DZ lines
may be set to say that a line is not properly
connected, and that the line should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
always present.  Thus creating the special character device node "2, 130" via
.I "mknod /dev/tty02 c 2 130"
would cause line tty02 to be treated in this way.
.PP
The
.I dz
driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
and input silos.
While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.PP
\fBdz%d: silo overflow\fR.  The 64 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.
