49controls, among other things, a dual port
50.Tn EIA
51.Tn RS-232C
52.Pf ( Tn CCITT

54communications interface with a multiple character buffer.
55.Pp
56Input and output for each MultiFaceCard III line may set to a maximum baud
57rates of 1152000.  Formula for baud rate:  Baud = 230400 / N with 1 < N < 65536.

82.Nx 1.1
83.Sh BUGS
84The MultiFaceCard II/III serial ports use the level 6 interrupt and may
85experience fifo overflows if the LEV6_DEFER option is used.
