29.Dt ADDCOM 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm addcom
33.Nd multiplexing serial communications interface
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "addcom0 at isa? port 0x108 irq 5"
36.Cd "com* at addcom? slave ?"
37or
38.Cd "pccom* at addcom? slave ?"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver provides support for Addonics FlexPort 8/S (and probably FlexPort 4/S)
43boards that multiplex together up to eight (or four)
44.Tn EIA
45.Tn RS-232C
46.Pf ( Tn CCITT
47.Tn V.28 )
48communications interfaces.
49.Pp
50Each
51.Nm
52device is the master device for up to eight
53.Nm com
54devices.
55The kernel configuration specifies these
56.Nm com
57devices as slave devices of the
58.Nm
59device, as shown in
60.Sx SYNOPSIS .
61The slave ID given for each
62.Nm com
63device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is
64tested to find interrupts for that device.
65The
66.Tn port
67specification for the
68.Nm
69device is used to compute the base addresses for the
70.Nm com
71subdevices.
72The port for the interrupt multiplexing register is fixed,
73so it is doubtful that more than one
74.Nm
75can be used in a machine.
