105.Sh DESCRIPTION
106The
107.Nm com
108driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, NS16550-, ST16650-,
109ST16C654-, and TI16750-based
110.\" XR16850-
111.Tn EIA
112.Tn RS-232C
113.Pf ( Tn CCITT
114.Tn V.28 )
115communications interfaces.
116.Pp
117The NS8250 and NS16450 have single
118character buffers, the NS16550 has a 16 character buffer, while
119the ST16650 has a 32 character buffer, and the TI16750 has a 64 character
120buffer.
121.\" The XR16850 has a 128 character buffer.
122.Pp
123Input and output for each line may be set to one of following baud rates;
12450, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
12519200, 38400, 57600, or 115200, or any other baud rate which is a factor
126of 115200.

163.Sh HISTORY
164The
165.Nm
166driver was originally derived from the
167.Nm HP9000/300
168.Nm dca
169driver.
170.Sh BUGS
171Data loss is possible on busy systems with unbuffered UARTs at high speed.
172.Pp
173The name of this driver and the constants which define the locations
174of the various serial ports are holdovers from
175.Nm DOS .
