.Cd "lmc* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Cd "pseudo-device sppp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
-driver provides support for the Lan Media Corporation SSI, HSSI, and DS3 PCI
-WAN adapters based on the DEC 21140 ethernet chip (with supporting
-chips to handle the HDLC framing, and synchronous serial interface.) The intent
-is to provide a synchronous serial link with HDLC framing at speeds
-of up to 10Mbps (for the SSI card), 52Mbps (for the HSSI card) and DSX jacks
-for 45Mbps operation without a CSU/DSU (DS3 card).
+driver provides support for the Lan Media Corporation SSI, DS1, HSSI, and DS3
+PCI WAN adapters based on the DEC 21140 ethernet chip. The adapters use
+a DEC 21140 ethernet chip for the PCI bus interface. Leaving the bus
+interface chip, the data path goes through a field programmable gate array,
+where HDLC processing is accomplished. Leaving the FPGA, there are FIFO
+buffers and the DS1, DS3, and V.35 drive circuitry.
.Pp
-The card will automatically use HDLC framing and defaults to external clock source. It should be configured as any point-to-point link.
+The intent is to provide a synchronous serial link with HDLC framing at speeds
+of up to 10Mbps (for the SSI card), 52Mbps (for the HSSI card), BNC connectors
+for 45Mbps operation without a CSU/DSU (DS3 card), and an RJ45 jack for
+T1/E1 operation without a CSU/DSU (DS1 card).
+.Pp
+The card will automatically use HDLC framing and defaults to external clock
+source. For the DS1 and DS3 cards with built in CSU/DSU functionality,
+the clock source is always external (from CSU/DSU). The ability to set cable
+length is not currently implemented.
+.Pp
+Using the sppp driver, you can also use the ppp protocol. In either
+case, the lmc interface should be configured as a point-to-point link.
