103.Sh DESCRIPTION
104The
105.Nm com
106driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, NS16550-, ST16650-,
107ST16C654-, and TI16750-based
108.\" XR16850-
109.Tn EIA
110.Tn RS-232C
111.Pf ( Tn CCITT
112.Tn V.28 )
113communications interfaces.
114.Pp
115The NS8250 and NS16450 have single
116character buffers, the NS16550 has a 16 character buffer, while
117the ST16650 has a 32 character buffer, and the TI16750 has a 64 character
118buffer.
119.\" The XR16850 has a 128 character buffer.
120.Pp
121Input and output for each line may be set to one of following baud rates;
12250, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
12319200, 38400, 57600, or 115200, or any other baud rate which is a factor
124of 115200.

161.Sh HISTORY
162The
163.Nm
164driver was originally derived from the
165.Nm HP9000/300
166.Nm dca
167driver.
168.Sh BUGS
169Data loss is possible on busy systems with unbuffered UARTs at high speed.
170.Pp
171The name of this driver and the constants which define the locations
172of the various serial ports are holdovers from
173.Nm DOS .
