53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Nm
56driver attaches to USB modems, serial ports, and other devices that need
57to look like a tty.
58The
59.Nm
60driver behaves like a
61.Xr tty 4 :
62this means that normal programs such as
63.Xr tip 1
64or
65.Xr pppd 8
66can be used to access the device.
67.Pp
68The
69.Va portno
70locator can be used to decide which port to use for devices that have
71multiple external ports.
