58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59The
60.Nm
61driver attaches to USB modems, serial ports, and other devices that need
62to look like a tty.
63The
64.Nm
65driver behaves like a
66.Xr tty 4 :
67this means that normal programs such as
68.Xr cu 1
69or
70.Xr pppd 8
71can be used to access the device.
72.Pp
73The
74.Va portno
75locator can be used to decide which port to use for devices that have
76multiple external ports.
