48.Sh SYNOPSIS
49.Cd "dcm* at dio? scode ? flags 0xe"
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Tn 98642A
53is a four port
54.Tn EIA
55.Tn RS-232C
56.Pf ( Tn CCITT
57.Tn V.28 )
58communications
59multiplexer. The
60.Tn 98642A
61has three direct-connect ports and one port with
62full modem control.
63.Pp
64Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
6550, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800,
669600, 19200, 38400.
67.Pp
68.Ar Flags
69is usually specified as 0xe since 3 of the 4 ports (1-3) do not support
70modem control and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier always present.
71If port 0 does not have the need for modem control then flags can be specified
72as
73.Ql 0xf .
74.Pp
75Each port on the
76.Tn 98642A
77has a 128 byte input silo and a 16 byte output silo.
78Interrupts happen on a per character basis unless the interrupt
79rate for the card reaches 70 interrupts per second at which time the
80driver changes to a 16.7ms (60 interrupts per second) polling scheme until
81the interrupt rate drops.

99.Sh BUGS
100Total throughput per card, all ports together, is limited to 76800 bits per
101second continuous input rate.
