20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.Cd "device dcm0 at scode? flags 0xe"
22.Sh DESCRIPTION
23The
24.Tn 98642A
25is a four port
26.Tn EIA
27.Tn RS-232C
28.Pf ( Tn CCITT
29.Tn V.28 )
30communications
31multiplexer. The
32.Tn 98642A
33has three direct-connect ports and one port with
34full modem control.
35.Pp
36Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
3750, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800,
389600, 19200, 38400.
39.Pp
40.Ar Flags
41is usually specified as 0xe since 3 of the 4 ports (1-3) do not support
42modem control and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier always present.
43If port 0 does not have the need for modem control then flags can be specified
44as
45.Ql 0xf .
46.Pp
47Each port on the
48.Tn 98642A
49has a 128 byte input silo and a 16 byte output silo.
50Interrupts happen on a per character basis unless the interrupt
51rate for the card reaches 70 interrupts per second at which time the
52driver changes to a 16.7ms (60 interrupts per second) polling scheme until
53the interrupt rate drops.
