  The 3COM Impact II is nice.  However, FreeBSD has poor support for the
high speed serial ports (230400 bps) that you need to drive these things
properly.

  You can get serial cards with a jumper that doubles the rate internally
on the card.  So FreeBSD thinks the card is running at 115200, but it
really running at 230400.
