+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ast
+.Nd multiplexing serial communications interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ast0 at isa? port 0x1a0 irq 5"
+.Cd "ast1 at isa? port 0x2a0 irq 6"
+.Cd "com* at ast?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for boards that multiplex together up to four
+.Tn EIA
+.Tn RS-232C
+.Pf ( Tn CCITT
+.Tn V.28 )
+communications interfaces.
+Apparently the original master of hardware using this multiplexing protocol
+was AST.
+.Pp
+Each
+.Nm
+device is the master device for up to four
+.Nm com
+devices.
+The kernel configuration specifies these
+.Nm com
+devices as slave devices of the
+.Nm
+device, as shown in
+.Sx SYNOPSIS .
+The slave ID given for each
+.Nm com
+device determines which bit in the interrupt multiplexing register is
+tested to find interrupts for that device.
+The
+.Tn port
+specification for the
+.Nm
+device is used to compute the base addresses for the
+.Nm com
+subdevices and the port for the interrupt multiplexing register.
+.Pp
+On a real AST card, the jumpers are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxx
+.It SW1-1
+Turn ON for irq 2.
+Default is OFF.
+.It SW1-2
+Turn ON for irq 3.
+Default is OFF.
+.It SW1-3
+Turn ON for irq 4.
+Default is OFF.
+.It SW2-1
+Turn ON for irq 5.
+This is ON for the first card, OFF otherwise.
+.It SW2-2
+Turn ON for irq 6.
+This is ON for the second card, OFF otherwise.
+.It SW2-3
+Turn ON for irq 7.
+Default is OFF.
+.It SW3-1
+.Dq Compatible mode .
+The
+.Nm ast
+driver needs extended mode, so leave this OFF.
+.It SW3-2
+I/O Address.
+In extended mode, this should be OFF for the first card at
+0x1a0-0x1a7 and ON for the second card at 0x2a0-0x2a7.
+.It SW3-3
+Interrupt sharing.
+Default is OFF.
+.It SW3-4
+Reserved, must be OFF.
