slave(1)						      General Commands Manual							  slave(1)

NAME
slave - a semi-interactive interactive command for the dirty work SYNOPSIS
slave [ command ] slave -f DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the slave command is to do all those small things around the computer that one never finds the time for. One typical use for the slave command is to change the toner in one's laser printer. The interface for the slave command is kept simple, mainly to keep down the complexity of the internal parser. THE OPTION
-f Send a rapid succession of SIGHUPs to slave, mainly used when one needs to blow off a little steam. THE COMMANDS
Almost any phrase in pidgin English is acceptable input to the slave program, but care should be taken to keep grammatical structure on an easy level, so not to confuse the poor program. BUGS
This program violates many standards and ethics, most notably the UN's Human Rights (as if they were extendable to programs...) AUTHOR
This man page is written by Ingvar Mattsson, 1996, in an effort to extend the alt.sysadmin.recovery collection of man pages. 4th Berkeley Distribution Release 0.01 alpha slave(1)

NAME
tcom -- multiplexing serial communications interface SYNOPSIS
For 4-port TC-400 series boards: tcom0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5 com2 at tcom? slave ? com3 at tcom? slave ? com4 at tcom? slave ? com5 at tcom? slave ? For 8-port TC-800 series boards: tcom0 at isa? port 0x100 irq 5 com2 at tcom? slave ? com3 at tcom? slave ? com4 at tcom? slave ? com5 at tcom? slave ? com6 at tcom? slave ? com7 at tcom? slave ? com8 at tcom? slave ? com9 at tcom? slave ? DESCRIPTION
The tcom driver provides support for the Byte Runner Technologies TC-400 and TC-800 series boards that multiplex together up to four or eight EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) communications interfaces. Each tcom device is the master device for up to eight com devices. The kernel configuration specifies these com devices as slave devices of the tcom device, as shown in the synopsis. The slave ID given for each com device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing regis- ter is tested to find interrupts for that device. The port specification for the tcom device is used to compute the base addresses for the com subdevices and the port for the interrupt multiplexing register. Not all possible configuration options are currently supported (for example, speeds beyond 115200 baud are not currently supported). FILES
