I use 
# Card Name:            Decision 8801.
# Manufacturer:         Decision Computer Int. Co., Ltd.
# Comment:              8 Port Hardware documented in /sys/i386/isa/isa_8com.h
#       8 * NS16450N, Selectable: irq 2,irq 3,irq 4,irq 5,irq 6,irq 7.
options "COM_MULTIPORT"         # Multiport support in sys/isa/sio.c

but I haven't tried it with ppp yet, only slip, & haven't stressed it at 
hi speed	basically the card works, but the '450s are soldered,
so its maybe not the card for you.
