+multiplexing serial communications interface

+.Cd "ast0 at isa? port 0x1a0 irq 5"
+.Cd "com2 at ast? slave ?"
+.Cd "com3 at ast? slave ?"
+.Cd "com4 at ast? slave ?"
+.Cd "com5 at ast? slave ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm ast
+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 maker 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 the 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.
