dk - Datakit interface
DESCRIPTION
A Datakit node consists of a fast digital switch and a number of line
modules. Line modules are interfaced to computers, terminals, other
digital devices. Certain line modules, referred to as trunks, connect
Datakit nodes together. Each module may communicate with other modules
through the switch on up to 510 logical channels.
The directory /dev/dk consists of character special files, each one as‐
sociated with a logical channel.
