device provides an interface through a
such as the Able Quadracall) to an auto-call unit
To place an outgoing call one forks a sub-process which
opens the appropriate call unit file,
and writes the phone number on it. The parent process
then opens the corresponding modem line
When the connection has been
established, the open on the modem line
will return and the process will be connected.
A timer is normally used to timeout the opening of
The codes for the phone numbers are:
.Bl -column xxxx -offset indent
* dial * (`:' is a synonym)
# dial # (`;' is a synonym)
< end of phone number (`e' is a synonym)
= delay for a second dial tone (`w' is a synonym)
f force a hangup of any existing connection
The phone number to be dialed must be presented as one contiguous string.
By convention, even numbered call units are for 300 baud
modem lines, while odd numbered units are for 1200 baud lines.
is associated with a 300 baud modem line,
is associated with a 1200 baud modem line,
For devices such as the Quadracall which simulate multiple
units, the minor device indicates which outgoing modem to use.
.Bl -tag -width /dev/cul? -compact
Two error numbers are of interest at open time.
The device doesn't exist, or there's no power to it.
