+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, and NS16550-based
+.Tn EIA
+.Tn RS-232C
+.Pf ( Tn CCITT
+.Tn V.28 )
+communications interfaces.
+The NS8250 and NS16450 have single character
+buffers, and the NS16550 has a 16 character buffer.
+.Pp
+Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
+50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
+19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200, or any other baud rate which is a factor
+of 115200.
+.Pp
+The ttyXX devices are traditional dial-in devices; the dtyXX devices are
+used for dial-out.
+(See
+.Xr tty 4 . )
+.Pp
+.Cd options COM_HAYESP
+adds support for the Hayes ESP serial board.
+.Pp
+.Cd options PPS_SYNC
+enables code to use the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal line for attachment
+to an external precision clock source
+.Po
+e.g.,
+.Tn GPS ,
+.Tn CDMA
+.Pc
+which generates a Pulse Per Second (PPS) signal.
+This is used by
+.Xr ntpd 8
+to discipline the system clock, and more accurately count/measure time.
+See
+.Xr options 4
+for more discussion.
+.Pp
+With
+.Cd options RND_COM
+enabled, the
+.Nm
+driver can be used to collect entropy for the
+.Xr rnd 4
+entropy pool.
+The entropy is generated from interrupt randomness.
+.Ss Arm32 specific
+If
+.Dq flags 1
+is specified, the
+.Nm
+driver will not set the
+.Dv MCR_IENABLE
+bit on the UART.
+This is mainly for use on AST multiport boards, where the
+.Dv MCR_IENABLE
+bit is used to control whether or not the devices use a shared
+interrupt.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver was originally derived from the HP9000/300
+.Ic dca
+driver.
+.Sh BUGS
+Data loss is possible on busy systems with unbuffered UARTs at high speed.
+.Pp
+The name of this driver and the constants which define the locations
+of the various serial ports are holdovers from
+.Tn DOS .
