Ok...

<li><a href="http://www.specialix.com/"><strong>Specialix, Inc.</strong>
</a> makes a wide variety of multi-port async serial expansion
products. The ISA and EISA SI/XIO host cards work under FreeBSD
when used with the <code>si</code> driver (this driver is, however, not
a supported Specialix product).<P></li>
