56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57The
58.Nm
59driver attaches to USB modems, serial ports, and other devices that need
60to look like a tty.
61The
62.Nm
63driver behaves like a
64.Xr tty 4 :
65this means that normal programs such as
66.Xr cu 1
67or
68.Xr pppd 8
69can be used to access the device.
70.Pp
71The
72.Va portno
73locator can be used to decide which port to use for devices that have
74multiple external ports.
