UMODEM(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UMODEM(4)
NAME
umodem -- USB modem support
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device umodem
device ucom
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
umodem_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The umodem driver provides support for USB modems in the Communication Device Class using the Abstract Control Model. These modems are basi-
cally standard serial line modems, but they are accessed via USB instead. They support a regular AT command set. The commands can either be
multiplexed with the data stream or handled through separate pipes. In the latter case the AT commands have to be given on a device separate
from the data device.
The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).
HARDWARE
Devices supported by the umodem driver include:
o 3Com 5605
o Curitel PC5740 Wireless Modem
o Kyocera AH-K3001V Mobile Phone(WILLCOM)
o Kyocera WX320K Mobile Phone(WILLCOM)
