96.Sh DESCRIPTION
97The
98.Nm com
99driver provides support for NS8250-, NS16450-, NS16550-, ST16650-,
100ST16C654-, and TI16750-based
101.\" XR16850-
102.Tn EIA
103.Tn RS-232C
104.Pf ( Tn CCITT
105.Tn V.28 )
106communications interfaces.
107.Pp
108The NS8250 and NS16450 have single
109character buffers, the NS16550 has a 16 character buffer, while
110the ST16650 has a 32 character buffer, and the TI16750 has a 64 character
111buffer.
112.\" The XR16850 has a 128 character buffer.
113.Pp
114Input and output for each line may be set to one of following baud rates;
11550, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
11619200, 38400, 57600, or 115200, or any other baud rate which is a factor
117of 115200.

153.Sh HISTORY
154The
155.Nm
156driver was originally derived from the
157.Nm HP9000/300
158.Nm dca
159driver.
160.Sh BUGS
161Data loss is possible on busy systems with unbuffered UARTs at high speed.
162.Pp
163The name of this driver and the constants which define the locations
164of the various serial ports are holdovers from
165.Nm DOS .
